That's a *lot* of rhubarb...

[mousme]

I have filled a large pot with rhubarb, and I barely made a dent in my supply. Methinks this might take longer than I thought...

Oops.

Oh well, at least I can get other stuff done while it cooks. I also snagged myself some corn on the cob for lunch. Yum.

:::ETA:::

Dammit, I burnt some of it by mistake. Ergh. I hope it still tastes okay...

Hey, I'm flattered that you find my entries interesting. Spam away! I love comments, so it's all good.

I think I ought to be okay in terms of volume of stuff to can. I just don't have a big enough pot in which to cook it all, so I have to do it in multiple batches. The canning itself should be okay, since I have several 1-litre jars at my disposal for this.

I would love to know how big your garden is, that you can manage *five* more rhubarb plants!

My property is 25 feet by 125 feet, and ~700 square feet of that is my house, so, um, whatever's left is the size of my garden . I'd do the math for you but I haven't had enough coffee today. :-p

But, to be fair, my rhubarb plants are way smaller than normal rhubarb plants, because the kids are always breaking off stems to eat before they can reach full-size. I have six rhubarb plants now, but they're each about the size of a bicycle wheel, and are unlikely to get any bigger until the kids outgrow running through the garden with a handful of sugar for dipping. ;)
