Like Christine, I am looking forward to more news on the exotic fruit. <BR/><BR/>Given the masses of rhubarb that Mamoo has around her shed, I can't quite bring myself to pay the prices they want for rhubarb in UK supermarkets. So, I haven't had rhubarb anything for while. Mamoo did have an excellent rhubarb custard pie recipe.I am sure that this could easily be converted to a rhubarb crumble recipe.<BR/><BR/>Curious LlamaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19077639.post-49592005597745277302008-05-26T15:24:00.000-03:002008-05-26T15:24:00.000-03:00Way to go Mira!

She was a HUGE help to me in weeding, spreading manure, and getting he carpets back out. The other kids weren't very keen to do anything, but Mira stuck with it, right to the end. <BR/><BR/>Particularly notable was when we were raking out the three loader buckets of manure, and working against time because Jackie's father was going to be back soon with the tiller on the tractor. We had to get it all spread evenly before he got back. It was a real scramble to do so, and she worked as fast as her arms would go. <BR/><BR/>So I wanted to give my oldest a public "pat on the back" for her sincere hard work. And thanks to Jackie's father for the composted cow poo and the once over with the tiller. What the tractor mounted tiller can do in about 4 minutes would take me a day to do by hand with a garden fork, and it does a better job of mixing soil and fertilizer. It's not much wonder people invented machinery.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19077639.post-33813676988837162482008-05-26T13:34:00.000-03:002008-05-26T13:34:00.000-03:00Yay Rhubarb!

They are thriving this year and almost ready for a harvest. I can't decide between Rhubarb Pie and Rhubarb Crisp. <BR/><BR/>I hope we are past the last frost. Next weekend's lows are predicted to be about 10 C. I'm eager to fill up our newly expanded vegetable patches with lots of plants. <BR/>cbChristinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03220413599327572924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19077639.post-81321250165169358852008-05-26T12:20:00.000-03:002008-05-26T12:20:00.000-03:00Yay for the garden going in!
