Home Grown…

In June I planted a crown of rhubarb in my garden.

After following strict instructions from my Dad, 4 weeks later it looked like this…

When I returned from my walking holiday in Les Gets it had more than doubled in size so it was time to cut and use the rhubarb.

Not bad for 10 weeks growth, so hoping it will do wonders next year.

    Sounds delicious, I have never tried it with ginger.

  4. Anne says:

    Great that your rhubarb grew!!! Good job you followed your dads strict instructions:-)

  5. Well done, Sally. I do admire you as I am hopeless at growing anything! That crumble looks divine…

    Ooh – rhubarb and ginger sounds divine! I bet it tasted all the better for having grown it yourself.

    Lovely rhubarb – it looks like Timperley – thinnish stems but peerless taste. I put well-rotted manure on my rhubarb in autumn and a sprinkling of general fertilizer in spring. Odd really, because most people prefer custard.

    All gone now and delicious it was too :-) Although the ginger didn’t really come through that strongly. Looking forward to next years bumper crop :-) Many thanks to brother Roger for letting as have a crown.

    Nothing beats a good crumble!

    I feel sorry for foreigners as aparently they don’t HAVE crumble… just yucky old pies.

    No: crumble rules!!

    Massage and crumble making – definitely interchangeable skills!
