RHUBARB :
March 9th:

Rhubarb, I've not tasted rhubarb since school dinners oh so long ago.

 As luck would have it I've heard it's easy to grow needing very little attention and not over fussy about where its planted which is a good thing in my garden because it goes where it fits.

I saw these in a garden centre while I was there stealing ideas,
two small plants at £1.99 each, a little wilted but a splash of water soon put that right. Apparently their both called Victoria.

Look what's popped up

 March 14th:

There's' no holding back this plant that's for sure

 A space has been prepared, just waiting for the wind and rain to stop.
March 16th:
get out of my house and stay out! yes it's time Victoria stood on her own two feet . .
sort of.		 March 21st:
Not good news, planted Victoria (the second) yesterday and we were hit by high winds and torrential rain with snow predicted, must be spring then.
Tip, when you plant them out cover with a plant pot to force them to grow quicker, longer and sweeter. Formerly known as weeds really a must for any kitchen gardener, enjoy. I picked my first rhubarb of the year tonight.

One sprouting rhubarb put in solitary whilst the other (right) left to its own devices.
Noticed the slugs are back, I know the leaves are poisonous but not enough!

I had all but given up on the rhubarb, it went from bad to worse and so I ignored it . . . that worked.
