Fingers crossed at any rate!<br /><br />Rhubarb is lovely - don't overpick it - you want to leave about 3 leaves minimum on the plant at any one time. <br /><br />This year I'm on strawberries, kerrits, beetroot, chard, cavello nero and what not. And probably more dahlias because I really fell in love with my dark dahlias that I planted last year.<br /><br />Happy 2012!Alison Crosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06565962059926865121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4316792173764568160.post-20688320070755868832012-01-10T01:22:27.499-08:002012-01-10T01:22:27.499-08:00My rhubarb's doing nothing much yet.
