Surviving Minnesota!

There is a taste difference. I know that when I would be down around the Victoria rhubarb doing weeding that it smelled awesome. Victoria does get some red on the lower part of the stalks but overall it has far more green than red. I never noticed the red being any more than skin deep on it. I had one type that was red the whole way through and was the sweetest rhubarb that I ever ate. When I make a pie, I cut up all the red for the filling and use whatever is left to make the rhubarb equivalent of applesauce.

Maybe mine is Victoria, I like it because it's been in the family for many years and I like the flavor too. I've made bird bathes from the leaves.

I need to collect cockerels off the roost tonight, not really looking forward to it. I'll put them into a dog kennel for the night.

I wish I could keep Big Dufus but he's got a limp and I really shouldn't have a rooster because of the cidiots complaining. I'd like to move

These are my 2 week old plants. Corey killed them off and if left alone they will be as tall as the shed.

I had a persistent little jerk that kept crowing off and on all day. I wanted to let him get a bit bigger, but I finally had enough today and told Dolly to go snatch him up He's tomorrow's dinner. It's much quieter out there now.

I had no idea there was more than one rhubarb.. mine is whatever my Grandparents had which they probably got from their grandparents..

Sorry Erli. Myself- I don’t like flock thinning duties either. It’s a horse crap job.

Which is why I have more roosters than any human should have.
