I love the crinkly look of new rhubarb leaves. Lovely, huh?

I want some! I am going to get some, too. They are just beautiful plants. My MIL used to have a bunch. I wish I had gotten some from her a long time ago. Do you have more, Kimberly?

Kris, I wish I did. I just have the one plant. I planted it last spring and forgot all about it. This is the first sight of it I've seen.

I've still got frozen rhubarb, good thing because we still have over a foot of snow on the patch!
We had to move our rhubarb 2 years ago, I thought we'd have a down year but it seemed to enjoy a change of scene and grew like crazy, so we still have some frozen.

I'm thinking of making a rhubarb/raspberry crisp today.
What do you like to do with yours?

I was at a wedding, years ago. They had a beautiful pink punch, at the first sip I realized it was Rhubarb Punch, now that was a punch with a PUNCH! I haven't seen or heard of that since.

Beautiful!! We're getting some this year. Hubby loves loves loves rhubarb! I traded some recipes for a few bags of frozen rhubarb.
Another friend gave us a great recipe for rhubarb cream pie. We added frozen berries, and it was delish!!

Susan you can take and cook your rhubarb down, then blend it smooth. Put in kool aid, can add orange juice, 7Up, whatever you like. Makes a great tasting drink and good for ya. I mix in elderberry juice in ours.
