I know it's truly Spring when the Rhubarb starts growing

[Siwsan]

And this year's added bonus - apparently the wild strawberries have decided to mix and mingle.

1. Love real rhubarb pie. Haven't had it for about 60 years

it is always contaminated with strawberries.

3. I make Rhubarb Ginger Jam

Rhubarb pie crust always seems soggy so I never make it. My mom used to make a great rhubarb upside down cake, topped with whipped cream. I might give that a try, this year.

4. My mom made rhubarb pie when I was a kid. Sometimes

she just cooked it up and we had it with bread and milk.
Rhubarb upside down cake sounds good.

2. Neat! I never grew this since my childhood days when my grandmother in the Ozarks

grew rhubarb in her garden...had to watch preparing it since the outer skin of the stalks are poisonous...had to peel them first.

5. My Polish grandma

Made rhubarb sauce. Like applesauce. It was delicious.

6. That would be good

I just might give that a try, this year.

7. My rhubarb died off this year.

I've had trouble with termites eating the crowns since I planted it 5 or 6 years ago. It finally didn't come back this year. Going to start over in another spot - I think I planted it in a bed above an old tree root, couldn't keep the bugs out.

One of my favorite things to use it for is with a pork roast, in the slow cooker, with some brown sugar. The tartness of the rhubarb goes great with pork.

8. I love rhubarb pie. I do not like rhubarb/strawberry pie.

My friend makes really good rhubarb pie. It is hard to find straight rhubarb pie in restaurants.

9. Yayyyyy for rhubarb! A friend's plants already have leaves. I love my rhubarb boba sauce.

11. We had rhubarb that grew under the back hedges. I dount remember the story of how that came about.

My mother made a great strawberry rhubarb pie and made other things with it that were really good. It might have been our Polish heritage. When I was a kid I'd pick some, wash it, and dip the end into some sugar and eat it like a celery stalk.
