We visited the in-laws yesterday and came back with more rhubarb from their patch than you could shake a stick at.
Tonight, after the girls had their Sunday night bath, Flora and I chopped up their pink stems and prepared a delicious crumble, topping it off with creamy custard and scoffing it for supper. The rest of the rhubarb was swapped with one of my neighbours for some of his dried chillies.
Meanwhile, the garden has really benefited from the first overnight rain shower for weeks- the sprout seeds have finally germinated and the strawberry plants are already coming into flower. Various seedlings on my windowsills are ready to plant out, but that job will have to wait until later in the week as I have totally run out of energy this evening. Time to snuggle up with some knitting and a brew!
I've just started salivating at the thought of rhubarb crumble! Lovely blog, a woman after my own heart! I love that you've named your girls Flora and Pearl, beautiful, beautiful names. I hope that Florence prefers the nickname Flora to Flo. Will make sure I pop by often!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Flora was always going to be Florence until a few weeks before she was born! I look forward to keeping up to date with your blog too x
