Rhubarb

My rhubarb is really taking off! Can’t wait to make that first rhubarb pie of the season. Yum! (It’s surrounded by a little spearmint in this photo.)

Nice to hear from you Jossie! Yes, this is my own personal rhubarb plant. I finally took a plant from my Dad\’s row of rhubarb last year. I sort of crowded it in among other things so I\’m happy to see it coming back nice and strong this year. I think the reason it looks so good is a few weeks ago I covered it with some of my compost – that stuff is really great! Glad you find the links interesting, too. I like to provide some context for people. :-) ~ B

Hi Sarah!Thanks for dropping by and I\’m glad you like the photo! I plan to post a picture of the pie when I make it – that is if I can keep from eating it long enough to snap a couple shots! :-) B
