A plant! It's gotten very big! Found it when I moved into a new house in December. The more I pick it, the bigger it grows

Fresh pulled rhubarb - yum! My sister in law moved 2 years ago and I managed to get a crown from her garden. Let it establish last year and just about to start pulling the first few stalks this year. Her's had been in for over 20 years and was a huge patch - such a loss as I used to fill the freezer with it.

That's cool! I haven't grown anything else yet. I'd like to grow is spinach. I find that Rhubarb has limited use. I do make a mean Rhubarb crumble 😂 I'm going to make jam today though

Hi Yasmine, I cook my rhubarb with sultanas and grated ginger first I soak the sultanas overnight in either Port or Sherry, and once cooked I serve it with Greek Style yogurt, other things I do with Rhubarb is Jam and also chutney.....MM x

Oh yes!! Rhubarb is 1000 times better with a bit of fresh ginger added when cooking - am salivating here (I know - TMI)

I wish I had room for a greenhouse but with the conservatory we added and putting in a 10 x 8 shed I ran out of space.....
