This little crop of rhubarb was there when we moved into this house 25 years ago. It appears fit and healthy every year protected by the low wall behind it :)

Really healthy looking rhubarb! Is it the Yorkshire kind?:>
Those poly's a are great! :)

Healthy equates to Yorkshire?...hardy maybe :))
The roots of this rhubarb were planted at least 30 years ago so I reckon they must be Yorkshire by now;)

You've given me an idea for a post :wave:

You'd better make a bucketful then seeing as we all like it with custard...no lumps though please :)

It has been a lovely first day of spring here in the north of England with all the buds and plants in the garden forcing through :)

The Rhubarb does look really healthy, no slugs or caterpillars munching the leaves yet!

The colour green in both pics looks so fresh and the polyanthus flowers are lovely, such a reliable plant for the Spring.
