Rhubarb

[Marcher]

I've inherited a very old rhubarb patch, no idea what variety but the pink it just starting to show through now. I'm going to buy some dustbins to try and force it. apparently it's sweeter and softer that way. It's been neglected for a year probably so I don't really know how healthy the plants are but legend has it people have repeatedly tried to dig up that patch and it comes back every time....

It should be fine, rhubarb isn't a crop that has to be pampered.

As for cheap rhubarb, the cheapest place to get it would be a pound shop. Buy any variety, they're all good.

We got ours from a friend who was moving hers to a different patch. Most folks that grow Rhubarb have more than they can handle and are happy to split you some.

I love it and can eat tons of the stuff mind
