Rheum x hybridum 'Timperley Early'

First rhubarb harvest on its way to becoming rhubarb gin using Jacqueline’s failsafe recipe @awomanonabike

Yum yum 😋

First harvest!

Looks awesome!

Yum 😋 would love to grow some , would it be ok in a raised flower bed @jendren 🤔

Mine is growing in a raised bed. It’s very happy. @debs69

Thanks Nicola, I will give it a go ☺️ @jendren 🪴

Plumping up nicely for this years gin 🥴

Did some one say gin 😁

Chin chin 🥂🥂 @charlotte

Hmm. Think this flower needs to come off. Plant confused with all this weather. Temperature is up and down like a yo yo.

I can almost taste the rhubarb gin 🤣

Ooo yes please.

Chin chin 🥂🥂🥂

Nice! 😋

Rhubarb gin underway for this year. Still haven’t drunk all of last years. I’m a bit of a lightweight! Thanks to Jacqueline @awomanonabike for her marvellous recipe which never fails 🍸

Yum 🤤

Morning Julie. Yum it is but not for breakfast 🤣 @juliesgarden

Bet that tastes wonderful!

I'll come and help you drink it 🙂

Sounds delicious! Rhubarb anything is delicious!! 😃

Oh scrumptious!

When’s the cocktail party 🍸🍸

Everybody’s welcome! @cee @charlotte @italydiva @juliesgarden @sieveheadsarah

Looks good

Wish I had that much rhubarb 😏

Ooh that does look good Nicola. Might just have to do some more myself 🍸

The weekly stir! 🥄 rhubarb gin underway. @awomanonabike Jacqueline I always use your recipe. Perfection every time 💗

😲 let me know when it's ready and I'll be right round.

You’re on! @charlotte

Ooh! That looks good. I’ve only ever made it in the spring. I might have to change my habits 😂🍸

It’s a Christmas speciality here now Jacqueline @awomanonabike

Do you make rhubarb syrup too Nicola?

I haven’t Jacqueline. It would be very versatile. How do you make it? @awomanonabike

It’s very easy to make but you need to freeze it or bottle it. You can’t make a rhubarb gimlet without it so worth the faff! Hang on a mo and I’ll check the recipe…

Combine 250ml water, 200g caster sugar and 250g rhubarb chopped into pieces. Bring to the boil then cook on low for 15-20 mins. Sieve then bottle or freeze the syrup. The sieved rhubarb is gorgeous with yoghurt 😋

Thank you Jacqueline. That would make nice Christmas pressies! @awomanonabike

I’ve just tagged you in my rhubarb gimlet recipe 🍸🍸

Would love the Rhubarb Gin recipe please 😍😃 @jendren @awomanonabike 🤞

Rhubarb Gin here we come!

Ooo yes please.

Delicious 👏

Very healthy looking rhubard. Delicious for "Gin".

We have rhubarb lift-off 🚀

Yay 👏👏👏

Mines sprouting too. I didnt think it was warm enough yet

This is Timperley Early. Very early I’d say 🤭😄

Yep that's a little early

Doubt it will grace my table Carol 😝 @carolgs

Nor mine really don't like rhubarb 😂😂

Planted last week and new leaf coming already. Must be happy in its new home!
