It was a lovely, not-too-sweet, seasonal, elegant dessert.

Yes, you should get a bunch of recipes from one plant. Just keep cutting off the larger stocks and never let it flower. I use it up until July, then it starts to get too woody. Some varieties are more tender than others.

Enjoy! Zoë

How many rhubarb plants do you have? I planted my first one last year. Will it provide me with at least one recipe?

My only attemp at growing strawberries was a sour failure 🙁
This fool looks great 🙂 Awesome way to highlight rhubarb’s flavour 🙂

I am a lover of rhubarb and am in the middle of figuring out some recipes right now…rhubarb and mint gelees covered with chocolate is the goal…wish me luck and thanks for this delicious post!

I’m so glad you asked! They are poisonous and need to be tossed.

Thanks! Zoë
