A friend shared some of her rhubarb roots with me and I planted them yesterday. It’s rhubarb that’s been in her family for years so know I kinda feel like I’m part of the family.
I was going to plant them with the other rhubarb I have but decided to plant it in a different area so I could keep it separated and always think of my friend and her family when I tending to that particular rhubarb.
I know . . kinda crazy to get sentimental about rhubarb! 🙂
I was thinking about my garden yesterday and I thought . . if someone comes and takes anything from my garden, they’re probably going to be disappointed. What I will have planted this year will be ginger, horseradish, radishes that are similar to daikon radishes, ramps that will not be ready til next year, brussels sprouts, and then tomatoes, peppers and eggplant that might be kinda “normal”.
I’m so hoping the rhubarb I planted last year will produce at least a little this year. What I planted yesterday will probably not produce this year but maybe I got planted quickly enough that it won’t realize it’s been transplanted – doubtful but one can hope! Just thinking about a strawberry rhubarb pie or bars makes my mouth water!

You know I’ll share with you when mine starts producing. But, I do know about envy. We couldn’t even find fresh rhubarb in the grocery stores in Texas and I missed it so much. I told Vince this evening – I can’t stop thinking about strawberry pie and strawberry/rhubarb bars.

I’ve never had rhubarb but learned that whole foods down here carries it. So I’m going to try it this year. Any particular recipe you recommend?

..I’m glad you post about rhubarb. I got some recently, but didn’t cook it that day, and almost forgot about it, save your writing! My husband does most of the grocery shopping, and would never buy it without express direction, sowhenidid go into a store and saw it, I grabbed it up!
