Yum, yum - first rhubarb of the year !

Isn't that a nice colour, elegantly presented on top of Alan's waterbutt!

I read recently that rhubarb doesn't like being moved. Well someone forgot to tell mine. This plant was moved from the top of the allotment last November and is flourishing, courtesy of the Wakefield Met compost bin covering it. Brian 3 (aka as our Hon Sec) gave me some other plants last autumn and they are coming along nicely. Good job my Chief Domestic Authority (the wife!) loves rhubarb! A good top dressing of manure is all they have had; makes a change from the usual custard!
