Lovely one of my favourites. Mine was new in the garden this year so I will miss that first picking that would have come from the allotment.

I started picking mine, sparingly, quite early - early March I think,. Just 1 stick from each plant once a week, I have a row of them. Went away for a week over Easter and came back to find that they'd taken off and have been going strong since then.
Stewed Rhubarb, Rh crumble, Rh & apple (still got some in the porch - Granny Smith & Crispin. but they are deteriorating fast), Rh sponge.

Are they your own apples? I managed to make mine last till February but till May would be impressive.

They are. Not good enough to eat raw, but some still good enough to cook. ish.
Not as good flavour as earlier.

We are pulling a lot of rhubarb at present mainly it is being frozen but some has been turned into jam (rhubard & raspberry, rhubarb & blackberry soon to try and make rhubarb & ginger) we are thinking of trying to make some wine as well, does anyone have a simple recipe?

Just love rhubarb but must admit haven't had just lately. Last lot was simple rhubarb and custard
