Rhubarb Season

I was pleased to see a small rhubarb patch in our side yard when we first moved into our house.

We harvested it annually over the years, but eventually the patch dwindled... then totally disappeared... I wasn't sure why. I even remember "fertilizing" it with Epsom salts - an idea I came across somewhere.

Fortunately, I have neighbors who have lots of rhubarb! Mary's grows bountifully year after year. Her secret of success may be that they move the rhubarb plant regularly... (Does rhubarb like crop rotation?)

So this year she gave me a generous supply of hers - enough to chop up and freeze some for winter!
