The other variety grows much later, it just started. The stalks are thinner and deep red, the taste is sweeter (I know from past years).

Upside-down rhubarb cake sounds yummy.  I just looked it up. It's pretty too.
Did you know there is a song called Rabarbermoes - by Pina Jones?
Thanks for sharing. Blessings

I didn't know about Pina Jones, but now I listened the song and I know it; it's an old traditional campfire song.

JP please could you tell more about what we see on the photos? f.e. what bird laid those blue eggs?

Your 'WilloWonka' sign is a real work of Art!

And now I need to look if there are more (new) boots with threads on Permies.

Currently we have
Seth and myself
Catherine
Matt and Shawn

Expecting 4 new boots next weekend!

Do they all have BEL threads? I only found you, Seth and Catherine. Stephen I follow too (of course).

Hi Seth. Sorry (to you too) for being late. Anyway now I can follow your thread on Permies too.

Hi Catherine. Happy to see several boots have threads on Permies. Most happy to see there's a female boot again.

Maybe it is not nice I think like this ... but I am glad the 'wildlife' coming into my garden is never larger than a Hedgehog (and Hedgehogs do not eat plants, they snack on slugs, worms and insects). Every time I read about Deer in someone's garden I feel so glad there are no Deer in my neighbourhood! There are Roe-deer in the region, but they don't come into town.

Yes, I know. The Linden trees growing here sometimes make young shoots at the base of the stem (trunk). Then it is easy to pick the fresh green leaves. I found out only those very young leaves are nice to eat as a salad. Leaves that are not so young are not nice to eat, they feel like paper in my mouth.
