I'm digging my rhubarb out and throwing it over the hill. It's some kind of white rhubarb and is so sour you just can't eat it.

Sory Monty. We have the beautiful ruby red stuff. Came with the house MANY years ago.

DS will probably be getting my rhubarb this year. It looks really good right now, but I have been diagnosed with gout and rhubarb is one of the foods highest in uric acid. Sigh!
Oops! Just looked out the window. It's getting dark and the chickens need to be tucked in and locked up for the night.
Bye!

It's an actual white variety. I can't remember the name. I read once that both the red and white taste the same. They do have the same rhubarb flavor, but the white that I have is extraordinarily sour. Rhubarb prefers a slightly acidic soil. Mine is growing on one edge of the garden where the pH was 6.4 when I planted it. It's probably a little lower now, but it can't have dropped too much in the few years it's been growing there. I'm going to find a good red variety and spend the next few years killing off this patch.

I have never had rhubarb. I think it won't grow here. It sounds yummy.........

Well, I've got rhubarb now (upright fashion). It could be harvested.
A rhubarb barbeque sauce recipe has me really intrigued but I am running out of time to mess around with something like that right now. I'd expect it to take several tries and a few hours spent standing over the stove. Better cut some and get it into the freezer for a try this winter. About that time to be buying a half a beef again.
I noticed that a neighbor must have had a rhubarb crisp. He claims his wife does real well with that. Anyway, he kind of laid waste to his rhubarb plants with what looked like considerable enthusiasm! I hope you enjoy your crisp too, Seedcorn!
