An unwitting fashionista

It seems like i've unwittingly caught the zeitgeist with my recent planting of Rhubarb. This morning in the Guardian was a short article about it rising from the lower ranks of obscurity and entering the public eye once more.

And Clare commented on it on my last post too. A sure sign that I'm lagging in the wake of the trendsetters and dawdling behind the times. I didn't realise gardening was as hard to keep up with as fashion.

Plus, if you've burnt a saucepan, boiling a load of rhubarb leaves up in it will removed the burnt on scum! Amazing!

Unless, like me, you allow the pot full of simmering rhubarb leaves to boil dry and burn again. Ahem.

Crikey, I really do need to swot up on Rhubarb.
