My rhubarb plant has survived so much over the years. Skips being placed on top of it. A year living in a random pot. Moving location twice. A compost bin moving into it's territory. The question is can it survive a 7 year old and football? So far the odds aren't great and it's getting trampled. Oh well, rhubarb and custard it will be for pudding tonight after our walk. Stay safe everyone.
Much the same applies to our rhubarb patch...It's amazing the mis-treatment that rhubarb can survive, even, in our case, dozens of chickens over a 10 year period. You have made yours look quite attractive. I can't eat it any more, mainly because of the vast amount of sugar I would need to add.
I should start growing some then! But I don't have a footballer going rampant (except my girls/young women keep kicking the ball against the fence and I expect it to collapse at some point). Stay safe indeed. xoxo
Rhubarb can take a bit of strife....it’s ready for picking so pie to look forward to tonight! Is your rhubarb very early...it seems so to meet! Yorkshire is the rhubarb capital so you should know! Hope you continue to feel well& happy.
I love Rhubarb we have a plant that started it's life in my grandmothers garden some 40 years ago - it's been split many times since then and has become something of a family heirloom!
