My rhubarb at the allotment is a plant I was gifted last autumn by a plot neighbour. It's quite small and sent up a flower spike a month ago, presumably because of the hot weather, which I cut off, but the plant hasn't done a lot since. Give it another year.

Margot brought me some of her rhubarb to the shop today, and now it's all stewed and in the freezer.

P.S. my brother and I agreed that it'll be more sensible if I don't go to his 70th phew!
