Daily Celestial Challenge - Saturday Agriculture: Harvesting Rhubarb and A Pie!

in celestialchallenge •  7 years ago  (edited)

Rhubarb is an awesome plant. It grows for always, dormant in winter, but will return come spring and ready to be harvested in early or mid summer. You cannot really get rid of it unless you are prepared to have a large and deep hole in your garden, which of course you can fill up with dirt and grow lawn above it.

I love having rhubarb plant as they make endless stock of 'fruits' for the freezer. We would make rhubarb syrup, rhubarb jam, but mostly turn them into pie. Sweet and tart and refreshing almost like citrus flavor, that is the taste of rhubarb if you haven't had any in your life.

Today for Daily Celestial Challenge which is hosted by @sirknight, I am sharing a rhubarb pie, made with rhubarb that we harvested from our garden.

Don't think I have ever tried rhubarb pie. Will have to give it a go one time. Thanks TKF. SK.

Oh Yum!!! I love rhubarb everything :D I moved to the south and can no longer grow it. I miss it dearly and buy nearly every stalk in the supermarket come spring lol. Your pie looks so delicious!!

They are so expensive at the supermarket here

Thank you😊

We have wild rhubarb growing on the edge of our property. Our neighbor will come over and take some. Every year it spreads out more and more.

Yep, that's rhubarb alright 😂😂😂😂

They are abundant and when there's no space left in the freezer, you don't wanna waste, off they go to strangers and neighbors who would want them 😊

looks so yummy! I should try it!

Ada yah rhubarb Di bandung? Di Kalimantan Ga ada

We can't grow rhubarb down here, too hot. But I love rhubarb pie. Save me some. I'll be right over!

I see. Tropical country there right? we don't have rhubarb in Indonesia as far as I know. We have a family of rhubarb, but not as rhubarb found in Europe and North America

It's all gone but if you come, I can always whip up a plate!!

It almost looks like the way I'd make blueberry cobbler. Sounds pretty yummy :)

Hmmm now I feel like blueberry cobbler ! 😂

Right? Ymmmmm.

I have a question. How could I be a member of the team Australia???

It's only for Australians and those who reside in Australia. We have a discord room called #teamaustralia

Could you please suggest me there. Or leave a link so that I can be able to join???

Are you Australian?

I see that you don't reside in Australia

I've spoken to one of the admins and she said most likely you won't be getting in.

Ok. Well thanks anyway ;)
