Rhubarb and a Cupboard

 

 We have a small patch of rhubarb but it doesn't produce enough for our needs. I bought some from a woman who had advertised on Marketplace.  Hers were advertised as organic and had very sturdy stalks.  There was a lot more than this but I didn't remember to take a picture at first.


 I made 6 little jars of rhubarb/orange/cranberry jam.....


 
...and an apple/ rhubarb crisp. Also froze 3 bags.

We had rain this morning but now (after lunch) it seems to be clearing up a bit.  I'd like to get outside and keep working on my potting area beside my garden shed.  I got another free cupboard ( courtesy of eldest daughter) and that meant some rearranging had to be done. I want the wooden cupboard to be at least partially protected from rain. You can't see it very clearly but the front has tambour doors which I really like.



I hope your week is off to a great start.  Thanks for taking the time to come by.

  1. I liked to munch on raw rhubarb straight from the garden with a shaker of salt!

  2. I love rhubarb but haven't grown any. My husband isn't a fan (except for rhubarb bread!). I love free stuff, especially when it's useful free stuff. My garden shed is in desperate need of a good clean and organize, but it will have to wait until everything is planted and I have some spare time!

  5. We love rhubarb and have been eating it stewed with yogurt or ice cream. When I freeze it I forget to use it! The cupboard looks great!

  6. I never could find enough people for all of the rhubarb I had in my garden in Spokane. I brought a starter plant here with me last spring and when I checked it today it's HUGE. I can't believe it all came from that little plant! I plan to harvest some tomorrow and possibly make a cobbler. IF I have the energy. I'm still fighting that cold/no voice/cough thing Alex shared with me in London.
    Love that new cabinet too. You find/get given, the best things!
    Blessings,

  9. I want to use some of our rhubarb, but I don't want baked goods. I think I'll just make rhubarb sauce.
