The plant that never dies

Um. Does anyone else have an explosion of rhubarb? I swear mine doubled in size in the last 2 weeks!! But that's ok! There are tons of recipes we have that are delicious with rhubarb in them! And if any of you have more please share!!

I think it's physically impossible to kill this plant! It just grows and grows and grows! Every year it must double or something because when we transplanted this last year across the yard it was like the size of my hand. Now it's up to my knees. But it's so hardy for Minnesota and I see it in almost every yard I pass when in town. Even the most black thumbs can't fail with this. It's pretty much the only plant I know of that you plant and just leave it alone. Except for some watering if it gets super dry.
I love to talk to my grandmother's friends and find their recipes for it. You always find a unique recipe you wouldn't expect. Anyone else love this plant?

Garden life

Well I went away for the weekend and came back to all this deliciousness. These were all an inch long when I left. Too small to pick. Guess I learned my lesson about leaving this time of year. Yum yum.

Garden veggies!

My garden is producing! Can't wait to taste them!

Harvest time!

So I have been harvesting my lettuce and spinach for a while now. It's just getting out of control on my leafy greens! But today was the first time that I was able to harvest something different! My broccoli was ready! So tomorrow I am going to enjoy my garden broccoli and homemade roasted red pepper hummus! Can't wait! Yum!!

Asparagus

Well my first year asparagus is doing really well! From what I have read you aren't supposed to pick any of it the first two or three years and just let it go to seed. Then your third and fourth year it's supposed to be ok to pick and eat it. So I've got a ways to go before we have our own homegrown but it's worth the wait! Yum yum!!

Yum.

Well I know what I am spending the weekend doing! The rhubarb at the farm came in so yummy is in store for me!!
