If you are looking to grow ruhbarb  ;) there is a horse that leaves plenty of manure on the road and surrounding area near us, which I believe is an essential ingredient for the growing of roobarb ... cue Richard Briers voice for Roobarb ;D ;D

I've never seen it here Jim.  Is it available on the market in season?

Like Puma I love rhubarb in a pie,  in crumble or just stewed.  My mother used to make rhubarb and ginger jam.
