Rhubarb (Rheum Rhabarbarum)
Savour the Tart, Tangy Taste of Homegrown Rhubarb, Perfect for Pies, Jams, and Other Delightful Treats
Rhubarb is a versatile garden favourite, offering tart, tangy stalks ideal for pies, jams, and desserts. Plant crowns in early spring or autumn, burying them 5-7cm (2-3 inches) deep in rich, well-drained soil. Space plants 1 metre (3 feet) apart in a sunny location. Water regularly and mulch to retain moisture. Harvest stalks from established plants in the second year, pulling them gently rather than cutting. Avoid consuming the leaves, as they are toxic. Rhubarb adds a delightful tang to your kitchen creations.
