Just checked and at Asda rhubarb is £5 a kilo.


Checked the relatively small bag we brought back from the allotment
and it
weighs 2.2 kilos - so £11 worth at the till :-)


We dropped of a really big bag (possibly 4 times the size or more)
at the
care home where my MIL is staying for the staff to share.
Got a really big smile - which is not surprising as we just dropped
off
£40 - £50 worth of rhubarb at the door.


This has got to cover our allotment renatl and allotment society
subscriptions for the year :-)


We inherited the rhubarb with the allotment and this isn't the
first crop we
have had, nor the last.
Given the amount of rhubarb on the other allotments which is just
not being
gathered I am amazed at the price in the shops.

That is staggering and goes to show (one of) the benefit of growing
your own fruit and veg.

Another way to look at it would be that it shows how expensive
everything is, and is getting.

Can't wait for my roobub to be harvestable (only went in a month ago).
