We think so!
How handy to have so many helping hands with you in Spring-time harvesting! It must be fun working together with little wooden dollies.
My quality of life would much reduced without them! They are a great help in the kitchen, and everywhere else I go!
I confess that I am not a fan of rhubarb to eat but I do like how it looks in the garden! Glad your crop is healthy and abundant.
Rhubarb is certainly an acquired taste! It must be my Scandinavian ancestors that have given me the rhubarb-appreciating gene!
What a vigorous crop you have. I’ve tried to grow rhubarb many times but alas, my plants always burn out in our hot summers. Rhubarb pie is my all time favorite…my mother made it every year when I was a child. I can almost smell it baking in the oven. Wonderful memories.
Yes I think they do prefer cool and shady parts of my garden, but perhaps there are varieties that would work in your zone?
