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.
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.
I live in the Midwest as well. I plan on putting out Kale, Cabbage, more broccoli and maybe a few other things. If they are cool weather crops I will plant them in mid July to early August.

Happy gardening.:D

I also can mine in pint jars with no problem...
Not quite sure what you are asking but will try to answer. You can blanch it on the cob then freeze it. I have been told you don't have to blanch it. You just wrap it tightly and put it in the freezer. I don't do it that way because of the space in my freezer. I like it better cut off the cob...
Yes you can freeze corn. Cut it off the cob and cook it until it starts to boil. Then put them in a freezer bag. If you have a Seal a Meal or a Food Saver this is the best way to freeze it. I also go ahead and put butter, salt and pepper in mine as well. Lasts for months.
No I don't add vinegar to the tomato mixture. Water Bath for about 15-20 minutes.
Do you have a Ball Canning Book? You can them the same way as you do diced tomatoes. If you don't have a Ball Canning book check out their site.
You can also put them in tomato sauce and pizza sauce, catsup. All...
