Featured Vegetable: Rhubarb!

Leading up to Spring, we're going to be featuring vegetables that are great additions to any garden. We're starting with Rhubarb! Rhubarb is great because it looks great and it's stems are edible! If you're a fan of a classic Strawberry Rhubarb pie this would be a great plant for you- you'd never have to buy Rhubarb for your favorite summer sweet treat.

Not only is this plant's stems edible, but it makes quite a showpiece for any garden! Look at the lovely one above! Although be careful if you have pets that like to nibble- the leaves of a Rhubarb plant are toxic!
