Thanks Sara, I'm looking forward to seeing our rhubarb patch(planted 2 years ago) spring into life.
These recipes will come in handy. :icon2:

Thanks Sara, I'm going to bookmark that link.

Pat, it has a flavour all its own. Its kinda sour, but makes yummie cakes or strawberry/rhubarb jam. Dipped in sugar, its not bad. I don't know many though that eat it without cooking it in something first.

OH just the thought of it raw, and it's pucker time. Like a lemon only more so. The old timers called it Pie Plant, and you might know it by that old country name Pat.

Makes a wonderful addition to strawberries and same season. It is one of the few perennials that grow in the Yukon, I remember it being in the garden next door when I was a little girl.
