Nearly time.

I see them up there!

Just a few days away, now.

The birds are already digging in.

I am ready

Whacking back the beast

Less than 2 months since the buds became visible in the dirt, with all the other plants in the garden just getting started, the monster is already set for its first trim.

 Go for it, Laars.

A pie-worth of stalks later, and I've meerly thinned it out enough to see two additional flower stalks about  burst onto the scene.

Going strong

Just in case you thought it had gone away, or regressed: No. It's headed for the biggest rhubarb ever. A mere 10 days from the last post, and already you could make a couple of pies.
