First Signs of Life

Posted on 24. Feb, 2009 by Justin in Fruit, My Garden Diary

I wrote a post at the start of February about forcing my rhubarb and I'm please to tell you the first signs of life are now apparent. I took off the pot I've used to keep the plant in the dark over the past few weeks to discover despite the snow it's started to grow. In the photo you can see the bright shoots of the rhubarb starting to appear. I'm hoping within the next month I should be able to eat my first crop.
