![]() I was inspired to shoot these photos of my next door neighbor's rhubarb patch by today's story on the tangy vegetable in the TNT food section. My neighbor was just telling me last weekend about the glories of a rhubarb pie he made recently. It must have slipped his mind to offer me a piece. I'm a fan of the red stalked plant not just for the great pies it makes but the look of the plant itself. Some nurseries offer ornamental varieties for your garden. But I think the standard culinary variety offers not only a food source but a big leafy presence in an ornamental landscape. I was just evaluating my garden last weekend and noticed it's heavy on small leaved plants and lacking large leaves. Rhubarb, here I come... ![]()
