    What does rhubarb taste like?

    Rhubarb is sour if you eat it raw. You can make strawberry rhubard pies, jam, cobblers. You will have to add sugar to it. It just depends on a persons taste. I like to eat it raw with salt on it as well.

    Who uses chickens for tillers?

    I wish I could let my chickens in my garden. Heck I wish I could turn them out and not have to keep them locked up. We have a problem with coyotes and racoons here. Afraid they would kill my chickens.
