The rhubarb is getting its comeuppance tonight. For a plant that disappears entirely for the winter season, it certainly did spring up monstrous this year. See, look! And this is after a first round of hacking, in June, when fully half its rosy stalks were distributed to grateful, rhubarb-eating friends. There were even two gargantuan stalks covered in seeds. One has been cut down already.The weapon....
The debris...
Ready for pie...

Rhubarb cobbler is my firstborn's favorite dessert ..... use yours well.
Ah, yes,rhubarb pie. I grew up on a...not really farm...just wild acres behind the house with edible things growing here and there...and the best was the rhubarb.
how much you want for some seeds. and does it need a deep freeze in winter to grow. we have stawberries and you have rhubarb seems unfair somehow, when i love stawberry rhubarb jam
I'm happy to just send you some seeds, Ginger, just email me your address. I've only seen rhubarb grow in cold areas, like behind our house in Minneapolis, so it may need a good freeze to feel at home. You could try it. Perhaps it'll grow all year for you.
I hope I do use it well, Helen, by giving it all to people who really want it!
Hi Nan
Haven't had rhubarb in our garden for years. It brings back memories of the timme our son cleaned out our fish pond and several hours later found one of the fish still alive in the rhubarb. The fish assumed the name Rhubarb.
Those yorkshire terrier guard dogs intrigue me. Goes the sign say, "Beware of the dogs, don't stand on them."
Hello Max,
I had a cat once named Rhubarb, too. As for the Yorkshire guards, they work pretty well. The racket is astounding, many people flee in horror, and getting them under your foot would be quite a trial.
