Rhubarb: the promise of Spring to come!
At Don’t Crop Me Now the rhubarb crop is well on it’s way. It is surprising to look at the growth rates of different varieties. Timperley Early is always well ahead and I think we will be cropping this within 2 weeks. Victoria is a much later variety and we also have an ‘unknown’ variety that is somewhere in the middle. I think this may be ‘champagne’. This produces very pretty pink (and sweet) stalks even without forcing.
