I do remember seeing plants at HD in the fall. That was the first time I had ever seen them. I might try one of those next year just to compare.<br />ESP- Rhubarb crumble was exactly what we had. No clotted cream though.

I've bought three Nectarine trees that ended up being peaches. One is the best peach I've ever seen and I would love to have another but can't as I don't know the variety because it was supposed to be a Nectarine.Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08820151806039495564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3636445408720805216.post-75130832762484721702009-05-22T19:50:00.027-07:002009-05-22T19:50:00.027-07:00I wonder if the tomato is just something like Earl...I wonder if the tomato is just something like Early Girl which ripens so much faster.

I have harvested four stalks...and have just read it does better from seed here.

My Mom grew rhubarb when I was a young child and I loved eating it right out of the garden (you know how kids love sour things sometimes). Now I prefer it in pie!Dianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08681758051433522246noreply@blogger.com
