On another Forum, some peeps can't do the snazzy bits 'cos they've not got their "cookies enabled"?

Strange, that, cos it's not a cookery Board ;)

if only you could all keep your messages STILL  -  and in BOLD - maybe I could read them!! It must wear the machine out, keeping them tearing past

What I haven't yet figured (in addition to all the above) is the photo bit - I need to ask advice about plant problems. Where better? - Tim

Why not ask this specific question on the 'Suggestions' page - bold as you like?

'spect that when Dan's come in from glorying in all the wet stuff on his lottie and dried off, he'd easily see it?

For my part, I'm longing for you, Tim, Eric and Ina to share with everyone pix you've all sent to me..

Sorry teresa, can`t find a mention of it anywhere. Even the Rhubarb Compendium (everything you wished to know about Rhubarb, and then some) makes no mention of it.  The only (possibly) helpful suggestion that I can make is that the RHS maintain the National Rhubarb Collection - partly at Wisley and partly at High Carr.  Unfortunately there is no list of maintained varieties on the RHS web sites, and you would have to write or email the RHS for information.

However, purely anecdotally, the Manchester area, particularly around Sale, was a very well known Rhubarb growing area in Victorian times, and one of the staple dishes in the local workhouses was Rhubarb Dip (presumably for the toothless geriatrics to soak the hard crusts provided) and it may be that the name is simply a local nickname from these associations.
