Hubby told me he found something on his walk.
Can you see it in this picture?
Do you know what it is?
Here is a closer look.
After all the whining I have been doing about not being able to find Rhubarb easily this Spring, then trying to find some Rhubarb plants for trade, THEN coming home to a Rhubarb plant hubby decided to just buy for me, I now find that I have had it all along!
It was hiding in the brush on our property line along the north side of the orchard! The funny thing is, since last year when I discovered my new found love for Rhubarb, hubby and I kept saying 'I can't believe there isn't Rhubarb planted somewhere on this property', because, for everything else planted here [an orchard, grapes, nut trees, garlic, magnolia bush and all other kinds of plants, flowers, shrubs etc], someone who planted here in the past surely must have planted Rhubarb! And gosh darn it, they DID! It just took us 3 years to find it! I wish I could have seen how this property was laid out, in all it's beauty, way back when.

What a completely awesome find! Nice!! I'm sure there will be lots of pies and jam in your future.
What a great find! It does make you wonder how the garden was laid out in older times.
he he, I was like what is that? Super cool
A little TLC and you will have a great specimen rhubarb plant. Great discovery and good eye to spot it amongst the undergrowth.
I am so Jealous of that Rubarb baby :o( I planted a Rubarb about 8 or 9 years ago < it was an excellant specimen picture perfect of what a full grown Rubarb looked like...stupid me, didn't know what and when to do with it...it died :o( since then I have tried to plant another and another..no luck and even the nurserys don't have one :o( I'm over the jealousy now..good harvest with yours :o)
