Publisher's Synopsis
From seed to crop, a celebration of rhubarb from the wonderfully absurd folktales to practical growing advice.
From the author's mountain valley side allotment in Wales to the wilderness of Mongolia. Tony takes us along a journey of horticultural delight and interest. Along this journey we find useful guidance on growing from seeds and crown cuttings, through to caring for established plants and harvesting in plots or containers.We explore the Suffragette's movement links to rhubarb and the rhubarb fairy who helps bring spring foods to the world.
There is a selection of recipes for cakes, biscuits, jams, and crumbles you can try at home too.
Together let us enjoy the randomness of Rhubarb.
Up the Rhubarb!
