Default Rhubarb, rhubarb, rhubarb!!!

Years ago when we acquired our last garden, there was a year-round bog
at the bottom of a 100yard slope, into which drained 70" pa rainfall
plus the numerous springs oozing out of the peat bog higher up.The only
thing growing in the swamp was rushes and several square yards of
vigorous rhubarb :-).

That makes sense. Its big brother the 'Gunnera' (not sure on the spelling)
is grown as a marginal or bog plant.
You'd sure get a big pie with one of those!
