Never had so much growth in the rhubarb! We have two varieties, the seasonal and the winter variety which has far more colour. This is the seasonal and the stalks are so thick. Its interesting that most people don't like rhubarb but if you put enough sugar in - its divine. The rhubarb itself has no calories so the sugar is about the same as normal tinned fruit.
You can also sweeten it naturally with dates and that’s a nice combo. Looks nice rhubarb. We split ours up this year and fed it lots of sheep pellets - so far almighty great leaves and hopefully good stalks soon too!
I LOVE rhubarb but It won’t grow here because it’s too hot. I think there is a variety it doesn’t need cold winters but I haven’t found it. This photo had my mouthwatering it looks so good. when you eat it, Please think of me.
So lovely seeing all your fresh grown lettuce & pink rhubarb, it’s balm to our winter souls although I did buy red rhubarb (forced) in Booths a couple of weeks ago. We reckon at this time of the year it’s very good for you stewed, expensive though.
My daughters mother in law has a massive area of rhubarb which she sells every year at her gate. She gets regulars coming for it every year.
