Giant Rhubarb
« on: March 31, 2011, 12:54 »
I have just bought some giant rhubarb seeds and am wondering is the flaovour still ok with the giant stuff or does it loose it's flavour to it's size? My main reason for buying it is in the hope of rhubarb wine for seasons to come and figured a giant one would be good?

Many thanks Nicky

Is is actually rhubarb seed or is it gunnera, commonly called the giant rhubarb plant?

I'm pleased that you are in East Sussex... if it spreads like wild-fire it'll take a while before it reaches me  :lol:

Seriously: sounds interesting. I hope it proves to be what you want.  ;)
