I live in Raleigh NC. I did not plant my rhubarb in the garden (due to extreme clay), but instead planted in a giant pot. It did well last year, but I did not harvest due to it being the first year. This year it has only put out 2 stalks so far. There are ants crawling over the plant. Any ideas as to how I can safely deal with the ants? Would they affect the number of stalks produced? Thanks for your reply.
