We are making rhubarb gin

I've drank my first lot so making a second batch today. 😅

Sounds delicious

Did you wait the 6 weeks @DeborahBanks ? It's our first time making it. We bought a bigger tub to make more today. 😊

I did 4 weeks. If you have any grenadine syrup add a small amount when you bottle it as the pink colour fades.

We have had so much of this 💚

Jam is amazing

Look at the size of this one 😮😅

Wow are you gonna make a crumble? 😋

Wow.

26/05/22 First harvest of the year, well worth not harvesting last year after transplanting them

Wow, how quickly has this grew! 🥰💚

Moving didn't seem to bother this much 😅

Planted the last two today and potted one one to see if next door want it. Topped it all of with rotted down manure. 💚

At the back of the allotment where it doesn't really get very sunny, two planted... I'm debating if I should get the last one as it might be too close to where my polytunnel will be. Moved today (20/02/21)

Moved today (20/02/21) 😅💚

What a lovely garden helper 🧡🧡🧡

He was helping me dig today 😅 I need the help!! @midnightgardener

Nice wagon

@kimmy01 Bless him, always good to have a four legged friend or two, in my case 👍👍♥️♥️

It's a life saver @docthrill much better then a wheel barrow

This is HUGE!!!

Crumble please 🙂

😋 I'm making a crumble and may have a go at rhubarb gin 😋💕 @charlotte

Ooo yes. Gin. Yum

Oooh nice! I love Rhubarb, especially in a crumble 😋💚💚

Rhubarb crumble is the best! 😀

Hurry up I want to eat you 🤣🤣🤣

@Kimmy01 What the white poles for? Should I be doing that?

No I only done that when I first planted them so I knew where they where @Lottie__O I just leave them now lol at least I know where they are over winter 🤣

@kimmy01 ahh good idea!! Wasn't sure if it was to help them grow🤦‍♀️ mine are hidden in the corner of the garden but they love it

#rhubarb starting to come though all ready

#kimmys-allotment #allotment

I love #rhubarb but had to throw the towel in since moving. Too hot/dry here

Harvest 😛

Om om Malibu 😋

Crumble in the making 😋

Tummy is rumbling, yum 😋

First proper harvest 😍😍😍😍

Ooh crumble ❤️

Looking like propped big rhubarb this year 😍 I love it 😀

#rhubarb #gyo #allotment

The best my rhubarb has ever looked and the first year I'm harvesting from it 😊😊😊😍😍😋

Lovely! I think my rhubarb is my favourite thing in the garden. The BBC food website has an amazing recipe for rhubarb custard cake, really easy and beautiful.

Oh thank you I'll go have a look at that @DeborahBanks 😋

#forcedrhubarb

I’ve tried forcing mine but in hindsight think I should’ve waited as it’s a plant split only within the last 6 months. However waste not want not... how do you know when to pick?

What does forced mean

You have to wait a year before harvesting from rhubarb after you slit it or move it @Emma915Jones and never force the same plant the next year I just waited till they where thick and I only had a small pot on so they couldn't grow any bigger 💚💚

When you try and Forse the plant to grow earlier then normal by covering it after its stoped growing and by early spring you'll be harvesting and they are supposed to taste sweeter @Sussanah

Righty o

Looks fresh and tasty 😍 @kimmy01

#rhubarb #gyo #allotment

Celebrating 2 years having my allotment 😃😂 I know how to have a good Friday night 😋

Don't forget the custard!

Mmmmm

#forcedrhubarb 😋

Next years the year I'll be harvesting the rhubarb 💚💚💚

#rhubarb #gyo #allotment

Rhubarb flowering... Will cut them of next time I'm there.

#rhubarb #gyo #allotment

Not long till crumble time! 😀

Yay. Ice cream with mine please.

OK @charlotte 😁

It done this in the last few days @linfoster and I moved it 7 weeks ago I took as much roots as I could dig and it hasn't been affected 😀😀😀 can't wait to see how big it gets

I know @linfoster they only got planted last year so there wasn't much root, I still dug down really far anyway. There in there permanent place now

This ones going to be huge 😊

Rhubarb looks great though

Let me know when it's crumble time.

Ohhhh 😀 Shame I had to move it cos it was planted where the chickens are going to be... Hope it does well still! 💚

Planted the rest of my rhubarb today fingers crossed they all make it!! Please......

🤞🤞🤞

Let me know when when the rhubarb crumble is ready

We like our rhubarb @linfoster 😍😍😍

I will do @charlotte 😁😁😁

Do you think it will survive? They where only planted the other day maybe they where in the pots to long 🙄

Oh no! Hope they make it... I just lost mine to the dog, but just hatched some new seedlings so fingers crossed for those

Give them a chance to settle. They may just be having a bit of a tantrum about being moved from their pots. Keep them watered and hopefully they'll perk up.

I liked but it's a 😞 hope they recover

I have 2 more pots at home that are looking better. I'm going to get them planted tomorrow & hopefully they will be OK @slj @Soph1e @Mikekally

It might have been the heat in them black pots. 🤔

Fingers crossed for them

Fingers crossed, if they all take, you'll have a lot of rhubarb!

I have the same problem. Not seen any progress in the ground but we'll see early days maybe plant is adjusting to soil conditions

I pulled some of mine and what was left was looking poor so I've chucked aload of compost over the top recovering it so it has to force it's way again. (Might be worth a try) It's improved mine. @kimmy01 @garymenzies

#red #rhubarb #gyo

Mines only just started @linfoster what part of the UK are you from? I'm happy cos I haven't had it since moving house 2 and a half years ago and got some route from a neighbor last summer 😊

This looks like brains 😮😁#Closeup #rhubarb

So it does 🤣

Brains ! 😂

👀

Look what's started growing @slj 😊

Ooohhh rhubarb's growing, mmm crumble , jam, pie, cobbler yum yum

Defiantly crumbles @bookworm68 @latebloomer Since I moved 2 years ago I've missed this more then I thought... I've only got a small garden aswell but I'll make it work 👍

Knew it would grow 😊
