Rhubarb

Genus: Rheum.

Species: Rheum rhabarbarum.

My patch of rhubarb came with the garden and its not something I would otherwise have thought to grow mainly because I prefer apple pie to rhubarb pie! But hubby loves rhubarb and this stuff seems to be well established in its corner. With the house having been owned and lived in by my granny-in-law, over quite a few years the rhubarb has been left to its own devices so it can't need much looking after.
