Default May be it is not such a bad spring

Just had my first picking of rhubarb (unforced),
delicious!

Looking back at my records for the last 14 years, end
of April is the most frequent peiod for starting
picking rhubarb. I use a 10 day span, for Early, Mid &
Late, and out of the 14 years,7 were Late-April, 2
were early-May, 3 were mid-April and 1 each for
early-April and mid-May.

Everything is beinging to shoot like mad, having been
away for almost a week it is an amazing difference.
Grass needs cutting again, for the 3rd time this year.
