That's interesting to know about all its herbal uses as well; I had no idea.<br />I recently had to explain to a friend what rhubarb pie is -- I was so sad for anyone who had never tasted it! But explaining made me realize what a truly strange food it is . . . a stem with a texture like celery, but tart so that when you add lots of sugar it sits in as a substitute for fruit? Odd and awesome!ladybeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14143316373440924953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7009967346802541581.post-63731267822798636092011-04-01T07:10:11.310-07:002011-04-01T07:10:11.310-07:00: ) good for you.

We had such an overabundance of rain last year that I think it drowned as it wasn't in the best drained location. sigh.... I'll have to try again this year.<br />JudyJudy Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01121300109427407095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7009967346802541581.post-29356399475732498312011-03-31T16:51:09.945-07:002011-03-31T16:51:09.945-07:00Absolutely love rhubarb!

It doesn't really die back here where we live in Oz. However it is a plant that devours HEAPS of composted animal manure, but with our own animals making plenty of that, its not a problem.<br />Its also a good thing to harvest and take to your local market (if you have one) We pick ours, bundle it into roughly 500 gram (1 pound) lots. It fetches somewhere between $3.50 and $5.00 per bunch here which certainly helps our budget <br />I have already dug some and potted it ready for the moving day (if it EVER happens) lol.Olivehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14389835614289815501noreply@blogger.com
