We spent the morning digging, transplanting, pulling weeds, cleaning out flower beds...After many years of having rhubarb take up space in the veggie garden, I moved it crossed the road to fend for itself...It flourishes every year, no added fertilizer, no special watering, every spring it grows big fat yummy stalks...Herbs Dad, "Grampa Allen" called it "spring tonic." He simmered it into a sauce and had it many mornings along with his breakfast cereal or slices of toasted homemade bread.
Yesterday Rusty pulled stalks, thinning out the plant so it will grow more...Instead of sauce, we had rhubarb pie with our dinner of meatloaf, rice pilaf and asparagus...They were all delicious!..Will it be leftover pie for breakfast or bacon and eggs? Hugs To All...OWAV:)
