It is only the beginning of June but we are ready to harvest our first vegetable...and the winner is: rhubarb! Rhubarb is very hearty, and grows without a lot of effort from us. When I pick the rhubarb in the next couple days I will think of my good friend Shelly, who lives in San Jose, and makes an excellent fig-rhubarb jam. Wish she was closer! John's mother, Kay, who happens to be visiting us this weekend, is probably the best pie maker around. Lucky us! If you are in the area, stop by this weekend for some amazing rhubarb pie.

Rhubarb! How old is your rhubarb plant? Cuz I bought a starter, but everywhere I read says you can't harvest until the 2nd year! I am so not that patient! I want rhubarb for this Fall's fig harvest :) (btw, thanks for the shout out, I know you're having fun out there in SLC, but wish you were back home.)
