We moved our rhubarb this winter which means we are not supposed to pick it this year. Apart from a stalk or two right at the beginning of the season I have been really good and left it alone, but a couple of days ago I cracked. It is so crazily healthy that it is taking over in the new space. So I pulled a couple of stalks off each plant. They are huge and pretty sharp because really it is a bit late in the season so I have been cooking them up. Yesterday I made chutney, and I have rhubarb and orange jam on the go right now.
Tiny Boy and I also rustled up some lemon caked for the lovely ladies at his pre-school because it was his last day yesterday. Six weeks and he'll be in big school!
Time flies when you are having fun!

Whether you should or whether you shouldn't have, your rhubarb looks good - we ate the last of our crop a few weeks ago...ginat rhubarb crumbles for all the Sunday Roasts I seem to have been feeding the entire community lately!
