AAAAaaaaaa

It's unfurling its infernal antenna!

Soon the seeds will be everywhere

They will land and sprout

and all will become rhubarb.

Run!!!!!

(this is not my real poem. just a test to make sure the Linky thingy works)

NanU said...: I'm just making fun of it because I'm not a big fan of rhubarb and its phoenix-like rise from winter-nothingness was quite impressive. It's not as if I encouraged it at all. The root base becomes larger each year, adding three or four inches around the periphery. If the patch is about 2x3 feet (of dirt, the leaves cover about 4x6), next year it'll be 2 and a half by 3 and a half.; May 8, 2011 at 1:33 PM

MuseSwings said...: My grandmother called it the spring tonic. I guess I ate it because it was there. I didn't know it was invasive. It's a rare commodity here in Florida.; May 9, 2011 at 5:31 PM
