    Just a note about picking rhubarb I learned after loosing rhubarb plants. I couldn't understand why my plants were dying. I asked my Mom. She asked how I was picking & I said I was cutting the stems. She told me to never cut, always pull the stalks. Since then, I have beautiful, healthy rhubarb. The video was excellent! Good job working solo!

      This explains why I don't have a good crop. I've always cut it. This year the knife is staying in the house!

    My mother used to make strawberry rhubarb pies from a patch in our yard. I haven't had it since I was a kid. Nice memories.

    Every other day I check if you have new blog for me to watch. I love watching your blogs, sometimes even if I already watch it I’m going to watch it again. Just to entertain my eyes with your beautiful garden. I wish I have a garden like yours here in the Philippines.

    My grandparents said you could only pick rhubarb in June. NOT TRUE..... I started with 1 plant and picked it heavily the first year it turned into 2 plants. Then the next year I again picked it heavily and shared with neighbors and 2 plants turned into 6. Now I have a mass that does stay confined to one spot but it's gorgeous. I'll send you a pic. Leaves are poisonous so I leave them at the base of the plant and do not put them in compost pile. The whole thing gets a good covering of leaves in the fall before it snows. Mine is mulched so I can stick my hand down in the dirt.. Must love that good ole Minnesota manure. Here it's considered a weed. Go figure..... Weed crisp tastes pretty good to me. I also freeze small cut up pieces (2 cups) to a package so when it snows here I can cook some. Thanks

    Omg!! One of my fav GA videos. Do more of these, Laura. And yes, Aaron can use his fancy videos if he wants. But this was great too.

    Laura make sure you also put some type of wire around the eves of the builiding. I see gaps between the walls and the ceiling. A varmint can get there and raise heck in your coop. Just talking from exprience. I had that happen to my bantams last year. It was a sad day.

    Loved the video today. I am all about your landscaping but have so enjoyed the combination of the plant, chickens and cooking today. Your mother's term "romancing the ordinary" has become my favorite saying. I wish I had thought of that concept-reasoning when I was young. Maybe you could bring more of that in some of your videos as well. If you ever run out of ideas from the landscaping, "romancing the ordinary" would be a good addition. I am a detail person and loved watching you make tea and covering it with a towel in the fridge. Loved the pitcher and glass set too.

    Just loved it Laura !! Very nice to see what you do with your crops! Farm to Table. You handled it just like a pro! I lived in Iowa for 45 years of my life where rhubarb is everywhere. I never knew the leaves were poison and I always thought it wasn't ripe until the stems turned red! I always learn something watching you!

I really want to show you around the most amazing places and local plants we can offer. You have inspiered me to quit being a truck(lorry) driver and start gardening full time.

  • @jonigarrison4426
    @jonigarrison4426 5 років тому +31

    I love watching your videos. The rhubarb receipt looks great. However, may I suggest you never boil tea leaves. It makes them bitter. Bring the water to a boil. Take the boiling water off the heat, drop in the tea and/or mint leaves, cover with a lid and steep for five minutes or so. Strain the tea, add sugar while the water is still warm for sweet tea, dilute with more water and chill.
    Sincerely, from an old southern girl.

    You did a great job filming this video! I LOVED seeing the sempervivum bunny! When you did the unboxing over a year ago I immediately ordered semps from mountain crest gardens. I made a beautiful vertical frame. Then you did yours a year later and omg I wanted to redo mine! I did find that just the sphagnum moss wasn’t enough. I had to redo it and add some soil. It is much happier now! A pricy project but the payoff is so worth it! I ENJOY every video!

    My transplanted rhubarb plants are just coming up and yeah they grow fast in the spring. I was told never to harvest more than one third of the plant at a time and to ignore it in the first year. Probably a handful won't hurt as it is a pretty tough plant. Yours is really green though - I've got a heirloom variety from a friend that dates back over 100 years from her family farm and it is red from the crown to the leaves. The leaves are great for crafting garden stones but yes not for eating. Heard that a frost in the fall will push the oxalates (nasty chemicals) into the stems so it is best not to harvest after that, too. Yeah for the chick update and way to go Aaron for sneaking into the corner.

    I don't know if you look back on your old videos at new comments... but. I love that you know about rhubarb. It's such and old fashioned thing. Thanks! I dug mine up when I moved from California to Oregon, threw them in a pot and crossed my fingers! Apparently it's not easy to kill cuz it just keeps growing. I assume it will go dormant soon. It's November for pete's sake!
