Rhubarb!


This guy came with the house.  Rhubarb is ubiquitous up here in the north.  It's the first edible thing that pops of the ground in the spring--cold or no--and tides pie-makers over until cherries and berries come in.  I'm not a fan--but my buddy Jill is, so she gets fresh stalks every spring.

Me?  I just like the look of the plant and love it as a big dark visual back drop for the rest of the garden all summer long.
