Today, an inspection of the garden revealed weeds. What did I expect? More than weeds were peeking through the soil.
Giant garlic
We’ve nearly used of all last year’s harvest of giant garlic. This is just one of the plants that grows in that section.
I see pie in my future.
The rhubarb was first to appear–just as you would expect. Some folks call it “pie plant” and that’s a good name. Rhubarb pie is my favorite. It also works well with apples in a pie. There are a lot of other ways to enjoy rhubarb. I used to enjoy chewing on the raw stalks, but not everyone likes it that way. Mix rhubarb with raspberries for making a very tasty jam. (We run the berries through a juicer to remove the seeds.)
Freshly prepared rhubarb dessert for supper this evening! Yum.
Sounds great!
It’s such an unsightly plant, and large too. Wish it would fit better in my garden because I LOVE rhubarb. I usually mooch off the neighbor, but I think she tore hers out for the same reasons I just stated.
That’s the advantage of living out here in the country. Folks here aren’t bothered by “unsightly.” Good tasting trumps all. :food: :dance:
I hope a vendor at the farmer’s market will have rhubarb. A good friend always provided it for me when we lived in Colorado. Makes my mouth water to think about that pie!
Here’s hoping you find that rhubarb vendor.
My grandma used to make rhubarb pie. 🙂
Mine too, but my favorite was mincemeat pie. No one makes it that way anymore. :no:
