First Fruits
Even before I begin digging up the soil for my vegetables, I harvest one of my favorite crops: RHUBARB!! I grew up with rhubarb patches in our backyard. My mom made pies, crisp, cakes, and bars with this tart early summer plant. Anything you might want to know about rhubarb you can find at Rhubarb Compendium.
Ours doesn't have a very red stalk, but it has all of that tangy flavor that you would expect. Last week we added some to a gluten-free cake mix. Yummy!
