My rhubarb is coming up well won't be long now.

I have tried covering one of my crowns with a green cone (it was a gift from Njord) but I don't think it was dark enough, well I will see, as they say the proof in in the pudding, or the crumble.

Mine is an early variety  - Timperley Early I think - and I picked some yesterday!  It is on the menu for supper tonight :D

I thought mine had died last year, but I noticed it has just broken through the ground again.   ???

OH had stewed rhubarb last week from lottie. I only eat it raw.

Mine has  also just come through.  So will be a long while before we can harvest unfortunately

Put a cardboard box over one crown a couple of weeks ago and harvested some lovely stems on Thursday. Now there's loads emerging and very soon there'll be jam and pickle beeing made as well as fool, crumble, pie etc.

I picked 5 stems yesterday and it was lovely lightly cooked in a bit of water. Very sweet and it didn`t need any sugar. That variety was grandad`s favourite, stockbridge arrow and timperley early will be a good week or two yet
