Do you have a big rhubarb patch? 

A plant! It's gotten very big! Found it when I moved into a new house in December. The more I pick it, the bigger it grows 

Yasmine years ago i had a patch of rhubarb in my garden it got so big it took over a corner of the garden so i got rid of it, do you grow anything else? 

Fresh pulled rhubarb - yum! My sister in law moved 2 years ago and I managed to get a crown from her garden. Let it establish last year and just about to start pulling the first few stalks this year. Her's had been in for over 20 years and was a huge patch - such a loss as I used to fill the freezer with it. 

Chris i replaced my rhubarb patch with a fish pond, in my twenties i used to grow all things my garden, potatoes,sprouts,apple trees atc and in the two green houses tomatoes,strawberries,cucumbers. 

That's cool! I haven't grown anything else yet. I'd like to grow is spinach. I find that Rhubarb has limited use. I do make a mean Rhubarb crumble 😂 I'm going to make jam today though 

Hi Yasmine, I cook my rhubarb with sultanas and grated ginger first I soak the sultanas overnight in either Port or Sherry, and once cooked I serve it with Greek Style yogurt, other things I do with Rhubarb is Jam and also chutney.....MM x 

Yasmine that was many a year ago i became lazy hence i became fat. I'll have to try your rhubarb crumble and jam one day? 

Oh yes!! Rhubarb is 1000 times better with a bit of fresh ginger added when cooking - am salivating here (I know - TMI) 

Mmmm - I am now thinking of fresh rhubarb with my home-made Greek Yoghurt when I get home..... 

I wish I had room for a greenhouse but with the conservatory we added and putting in a 10 x 8 shed I ran out of space..... 

Haha I'm going to pick some soon and I'll upload a picture of it all. 

The recipe for the chutney is so very easy and not too many calories I make enough for 2 jars and keep them in the fridge its using sweet apples, onions, sultanas, rhubarb, white vinegar, honey and spices ...... MM x  

Oh silly me forgot to say red peppers 

Yasmine do post the picture please😋
