I can't think of anything in nature quite as sexy as the first shoots pushing up through the dirt in mid-April. It has such a, shall we say, priapic quality to it before it leafs out.<BR/><BR/>Our patch comes from some roots brought to meeting by a family almost 12 years ago when they thinned their garden. It's the only absolutely reliable crop I've every been able to sustain.<BR/><BR/>I think rhubarb pie is a wonderful metaphor for the bitter-sweet nature of life.Paul Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03483071863453025925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13642801.post-1146689750930119812006-05-03T16:55:00.000-04:002006-05-03T16:55:00.000-04:00Well, I don't have a garden big enough to grow rhu...Well, I don't have a garden big enough to grow rhubarb, so I just buy it at the grocery store.

Whenever I ran across that word in an old book (it's mentioned in one of the later Little House Books, for example, and I just found it mentioned in a Jessamyn West novel yesterday) I wondered about it and imagined something like a green starchy eggplant! I was never quite curious enough to look it up!<BR/><BR/>I'm laughing a lot over here, and also wishing for rhubarb!Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04944788955150864371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13642801.post-1146603483325296192006-05-02T16:58:00.000-04:002006-05-02T16:58:00.000-04:00Heavens, that sounds lovely!
