Replacement Rhubarb

Spend the evening digging the old green rhubarb out in the hope that the new red rhubarb will take over. The green rhubarb tastes good, but the red looks better.

Rhubarb Crumble

2.8KG of rhubarb came out of the parch and into the kitchen. 800g went into rhubarb crumble (which was excellent) and 2KG was stewed and went into bottles. This is the first (non-jam) bottling endeavour for the patch and it seems to have worked well.

For Christmas dinner Kohlrabi, Cauliflower, and turnips. The cheddar yellow cauliflower is excellent both raw and cooked. The remains went into filo-parcels for dinner tonight. They, too, were good.

Tomatoes are starting to come, but the plants are yellowing. They need some tomato food.
