Originally posted by Gary View Post... I am going to try Rhubarb again..... I had some and one fall I was sick (imagine that) and forgot to cover it with mulch and it didn't make it through the winter. I have been told that should not make a difference but it does for us anyway. I also have to replace my asparagus it finally gave up the ghost this year. I got 16 years out of it so cant complain. I cannot stand the smell of it cooking it makes me sick but I do like it raw to me it tastes like fresh peas. ...
This year was the first time I ever had raw asparagus. I agree it does taste good.

My Grandma had a rhubarb garden and I remember it being very bitter,
raw..Eewww! Much better cooked with lots of sugar. I was a kid...
whataya expect? We're talking 70 years ago., but can still
remember biting into that raw rhubarb, in the yard.Last edited by SalpalSally; 04-27-2015, 09:28 AM.Love, Sally

I said raw rhubarb was delicious. It is, but what I MEANT to say was raw ASPARAGUS is delicious...along with a bunch of other veggies. Is rhubarb a fruit or a veggie?? And rhubarb/strawberry pie (or crisp) ain't bad, either... :)...I am not a doctor nor medical professional, and don't pretend to be one, here... :o

Made a quick trip to my Mom's in Upstate NY this weekend. Still snow in the woods. Still making Maple Syrup. Still freezing at night and warmer during the day. Warmest while we were there was 48 degrees. Still no buds on anything other than the Magnolia but the daffodils and hyacinths, crocus and blues are all blooming.

I bought a new laptop since my old one was in the shop for better than a month now... I got the new one a week ago. Many of the posts from this month cracked me up, especially the ones from Howie.
Spring started in late February, early March this year. Rain has been minimal, they have been predicting a drought this year since we only have 25% of the snow pack. We did get a little more snow in the past couple of weeks, even enough to finally open the ski resorts, but not enough for it to make it worth it for the operators. It warmed up again a few days later and the snow started melting, but this will not help the potential drought situation.
The tulips bloomed, the tourists flocked to Skagit County for the annual Tulip Festival. I'm glad April is almost over, the traffic was a nightmare.sJendie
