To all and especially Tamara, who misses her rabarbar, or rabarber as we
call it in the Netherlands,
Thanks for the lovely rhubarb cake recipe to Linda, must try this,
sounds yummy.
I like rhubarb and custard, and make a lot of rhubarb and gigner jam.
No-one else in the house will touch it, which is their loss.
I have had rhubarb ever since I moved to UK, splitting the plant every
four years, and even moving it to our new house.
You can grow it just about anywhere, as long as you remember that it
needs water. When we lived in Southern California, I found two large
rhubarb plants in the garden of the house we'd rented. Needless to say,
that the previous owner was an Englishman from Manchester, who had tried
to recreate an English garden. Worked for the rhubarb, but the victoria
plums (two huge trees) kind of ripened over just 2-3 days. A deluge of
plums, with most of them being distributed to bemused and yet delighted
neighbours.
