Seems early this year MoS  :unsure: Especially give the poor start to the year.   Ironically none of the flowery things I've planted this year have even germinated yet  :lol:

I make a tart, or ice cream or curd or cake or roast it and add custard myself. ::)

Mine have flower heads every year, no matter how much I look after them.

As the question is in GYO and not the cooking section, It never even entered my mind that Lardman would be thinking of recipes, when he posed his question  :nowink:

 :lol: :lol:

This is why I want the raspberry blowing face back ... sometimes you just can't tell if someone is taking the Michael.   ::)

Post a picture - I dare you. I have been known to kill crowns remotely simply by channelling my bad rhubarb Juju  ;) Works on rosemary bushes too  :tongue2:

Aw Lardman! I know what you're going through. My count so far is 4 rosemary bushes and 3 rhubarb crowns. 3 crowns still alive. One's even pretending to flourish a bit.
