Default Maximising Rhubarb Crop

My husband doesn't like rhubarb and won't let me grow any.


Have you considered divorce?


Did you try force-feeding him on it? That is a common cause of
discord, up to and including divorce and probably even murder :-)

When my wife wanted some, I made the formal condition that I would
grow it provided that she never fed it to me. The plants died in
the series of dry summers a decade back, but the arrangement held
until then ....
