......... well, at least Mrs Digger's rhubarb thinks so.



It's early every year, but this is ridiculous! I suppose it'll expect me to run down to the plot with a fleece every time a frost is forecast!
Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?

MMM lovely rhubarb and apple pie with a sugar crust, shame no-one else in my house likes it, so its not worth growing for me alone

The weather must be a lot milder in your area than you've led us to believe.

No, not really, we've had quite a few hard frosts, admittedly nothing like your weather though.

These are the only rhubarb leaves showing on all 40+ plots on the site and they're in quite an exposed spot!
