Rhubarb

We have 2 different varieties in the garden.

Thick stemmed and very bright red:This clump is fairly young. I only planted it a year or two ago.

Thin-stemmed and not as bright red, but not exactly green either:This is a clump I planted at least 8 years ago (and divided a few times since). There were some crowns in the paddock which we mowed down frequently (they were in the way), until I decided that this is a bit of a waste and transplanted them into my herb garden.

Both taste very nice. Either just stewed with a bit of orange juice, sugar and cinnamon, or in a tart, etc.

I am always happy to read your comments, dear readers. However, I am trialling 'word verification' for a little while, as I have been receiving a lot of spam. The spam never makes it onto the comment pages, as I am moderating all comments. But it is starting to get tedious to moderate all the spam. I hope this will not cause any inconvenience to any of may regular readers. Please leave a comment - I am always happy to hear from you! :)
