champagne variety, under a large blue bucket for 4 weeks, now transformed into a rhubarb crumble  ;D

Mmmm....that looks good!  I'm looking forward to next year when we can eat ours!

Very nice!
I'm going to pick some tomorrow so we can have crumble on Sunday.  I don't think mine will be as bright as yours though.

Looks good! I forgot to put a bucket over mine which looked like this a week ago ~

Never mind, they soon get there. I never blanch mine as I like the stronger taste of the unblanched stuff.

I bought some pink champagne rhubarb so really pleased to see it turns a nice pink.  Unfortunately it will be next year before I can attack it.

In the garden I have some grown from seed, tends to be on the green side but excellent flavour.

I planted a few crowns this year an it has started to come through,I know you mustn't take any the first year to let it establish but do I just let it rot on the plant?

 My favorite 'rhubarb crumble', I'm waiting for our first crop which sadly will be in a couple of year, :)
