Re: The first rhubarb of the season.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 am now a widow and live with my memories.
Re: The first rhubarb of the season.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. Dance caller. http://mo-dance-caller.blogspot.co.uk/p/what-i-do.html

Are they your own apples? I managed to make mine last till February but till May would be impressive. Michael
Re: The first rhubarb of the season.They are. Not good enough to eat raw, but some still good enough to cook. ish.
Not as good flavour as earlier. Dance caller. http://mo-dance-caller.blogspot.co.uk/p/what-i-do.html
Sunny Clucker enjoyed Folk music and song in mid-Cheshire Re: The first rhubarb of the season.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?

Re: The first rhubarb of the season.Just love rhubarb but must admit haven't had just lately. Last lot was simple rhubarb and custard
