First rhubarb harvest of the year
Topic: rhubarb

A friend brought a bag of fresh rhubarb from her Matanuska Valley acreage today. I chopped and froze most of the stalks, supplementing it with some of my rhubarb to make three full 8-cup bags, and also baked a fresh rhubarb crisp.

My rhubarb plants are now shaded by a birch tree that keep gettting taller every year (imagine that!) so today she and I moved some from the shade to a new spot in full sun. No harvesting of those particular plants this year, but I have plenty of others.Ads by AdGenta.com
