Default Maximising Rhubarb Crop

My fav is stewed and when cold mixed into natural yogurt. I also save
the water it is stewed in as juice, but you can feel your teeth
rotting :-)

Jonny you will find rhubarb is a very tough resilient plant. No matter
what you do to it, you will do no harm to it :-)) (Even I can grow the
stuff!!)

Experiment with it. Cover some with straw. Cover some with a
bucket/barrel with the bottom cut out. Leave some and just enjoy it when
young (don't we all enjoy the young things;-))

But don't forget to pull it in the evening after a nice sunny day. It
makes all the difference :-))

Rhubarb and Blackberry Crumble hot or cold with Ice Cream :-))
Rhubarb and Apple Pie hot or cold with Ice Cream :-))

Rhubarb Juice drunk straight out of a Glass :-))

Funny taste/feeling on your teeth? Don't care, haven't got any :-))))
