What made you happy today?

If it was too sour, they didn't put enough sugar in it. Adding strawberries and following standard directions makes a really sour pie.

Good rhubarb is tart. Tart and sour are not the same thing. A rhubarb pie made properly is both sweet and tart.

I tried an actual rhubarb stalk that someone gave me. I'd never tasted it before.

I found and purchased some Lemon Boy tomato plants today.

That is not like cooked rhubarb. Some people like to juice the stalks and make ice cubes with the juice. They add a cube to a glass of water, similar to adding a lemon wedge tp a glass of water.

Congratulations and wishing you unlimited years. The Princess and I celebrated 60 years in Jan., and it keeps getting better.

Thanks and congrats to you too!

Congratulations!!!!

Thanks!

We used to eat the stalks dipped in sugar. Just don't eat the leaves as they are toxic. And the red rhubarb variety is sweeter than the green, however, they both need sugar

Original - didn't even know there was a +. Also haven't been able to find any Mortgage Lifter.

One of the seed companies I've ordered from - though the price seems higher than I recall.

Waking up early this morning, on my day off, and hearing chirping coming from the den...

Also haven't been able to find any Mortgage Lifter.

I've grown them... I was unimpressed. Tried them for two years. I almost always give poor performers a second chance. Mortgage Lifter and Cherokee Purple are on my "Disappointing; don't plant again" list, sadly.

What will make be extremely happy today would be to get the rest of my garden starts planted, and the rest of my to do list done as well! I'm working on 2 of them right now.

Mortgage Lifter have always done well for me. Cherokee Purple has not been so consistent.

Hssaio his hung shih are a really prolific tomato too, but they're small, snack size tomatoes. They're very sweet and my favourite tomato ever.
