Thanks for adding the pic, Sue.
For once I'm grateful for our weather. No steam bath here, and no deep snow, either! Just chilly enough to wear a jacket, and plenty good for digging and raking. instead of digging, though, I was outside staining woodwork all afternoon. Maybe tomorrow I'll get to plant all my new strawberry and rhubarb plants. I was craving strawberry rhubarb pie, but there is no rhubarb to be found in any store around. Not fresh or frozen. I just finished the last of my frozen rhubarb, and it will be a while before these plants give me any stalks.
I did buy one root the size of a large cantaloup so maybe it will produce sooner.
