teresa:
One of our neighbroughs has what he calls manchester rhubarb?  ???
It has long thin stalks and the skin is so thin you can cook it with the skin on and no stringy bits. ;D
The taste is lovely any idea what the proper name would be.  :-/

Hi teresa

Manchester rhubarb?  Haven't the foggiest - but the RHS garden at Harlow Carr might  (http://www.rhs.org.uk/gardens/harlowcarr/).  They hold the national rhubarb collection - edible and ornamental rheums.

My kids caused something of a stir one day last year with the level of their fascination.  A bus-load of adults watching kids exploring rhubarb - there are some VERY, VERY, VERY strange spectator sports in England!!!!

All best - Gavin

Sorry teresa, I went and posted my message on the "Shed" board in the "Play" thread by mistake.  Says much the same as Gavin but with a little bit of extra uselessness.

LynneA:
Could this be another name for Timperley Early?
