When my son was very small, he misunderstood my excited squeal of “rhubarb!” He was very disappointed when I showed him the “rhubot”.

Today, I can squeal “rhubot!”

First #rhubarb #cake of the season, earlier than I thought:
shortcrust, filled with a creamy and slightly tangy mixture of yogurt, vanilla pudding and rhubarb, topped with very buttery #cocoa streusel #baking #spring #gardening #OrganicGardening #ChristineMunroeAuthor
There was a SLUG in my food!?- 🤢

Just harvested #rhubarb for the first time. We’ve had the plant for a few years but it’s gotten pretty big. Was always intimidated knowing the leaves were poisonous if ingested.

But went for it. Pulled some off of the main stalk. Tossed the leaves. Cut up and washed the stems. Took a bite.

Forever changed. Tart like a lemon. Crunch like an apple. Distinct fruity flavor. Yum!

First rhubarb harvest of the season. Making rhubarb raspberry cheesecake crumble bars. Hard freeze forecast this weekend, didn't want rhubarb mush.

Fortunately, the new rhubarb survived after spending a little too long under plastic! Unfortunately, we won't be harvesting this year yet; the rhubarb needs another year to root properly. #rhubarb #gardening #vegetablegarden #allotment #kitchengarden

Rhubarb being bleached.. all of that brown stuff is not dirt, but sheep wool

In about a week I should be able to bake my first #rhubarb cake/crumble of the season. Looking forward to it!
In ca. 1 Woche sollte ich meinen 1. Rhabarberkuchen/Crumble der Saison backen können. Freue mich drauf!

Garlic and rhubarb. Soft neck California Heirloom, aka whatever is in the bag you buy garlic. This raised bed is for winter squash, which will only be butternut this year because I'm tired of acorn squash that taste bad and/or don't store good. Too many made up name squash seeds out there from seed sellers that are just repacking the same bulk seed junk as everyone else.
