Guest guest Posted May 26, 2006 Report Share Posted May 26, 2006 Mel, I don't know how much it costs as I have only bought it once. Go see if you can find a root to plant this fall. They should cost about $2. It likes cool, moist weather. I am able to grow it here, though. It dies back to the root in the winter. It likes horse sh!t piled on it in the winter. Okay, organic fertilizer will do, but I think I have forgotten to do that in years. Ooops. I just remembered you are renting. Keep it in mind, I think you will love it. I got so hungry for it after I hadn't had it in years! That ain't enough sugar, for sure. See my conversation with Jim. OH, once my neighbor made a sugar-free rhubarb pie for her son who had diabetes. I about choked eating a peice. She was the sweetest woman in the world, but I think that was the only food she put in front of me that I couldn't eat, not even to be polite. I can't describe the flavor. Sorry. Just don't eat the greens, they say they are poisonous. Now, that is an old wives tale so I don't know if it is true, but I don't want to experiment! I prefer rhubarb with red stems, like Valentine. Oh, it looks like Swiss Chard. Anyway, it is just looks, the green and red taste the same. Marta rhubarb lover > So you boil it like your fixing strawberries for cobbler.
