Look at the difference a year can make!

Here’s a look at my rhubarb patch today compared to what it looked like in April of last year.

My little patch of rhubarb is tucked in a relatively shady spot in the yard and may therefore be a little further behind than rhubarb in full sun (it prefers full sun), but it’s a good barometer of what we can expect this rhubarb season.  We can expect – RHUBARB!

Yipee!

Keep your eyes open as rhubarb plants across the city grow into big, delicious edibles.  As Christine mentioned in her post RHUBARB WANTED, if you see it’s not being used, let the owner know that we’ve got many volunteers interested in using and sharing these lovely stalks.
