Celebrate rhubarb !

Submitted by Helen Coxan on Fri, 26/02/2010 - 9:11pm

Our in-shop celebration of the wonders of Yorkshire rhubarb has continued all week with lots of lovely early Champagne rhubarb on sale along with Cawston Vale's magnificent Apple and Rhubarb juice and fab rhubarb cakes from Dee's Pantry in Marsden.

Hopefully there will be fresh Yorkshire rhubarb on sale on Saturday and next week, when we take delivery of 3 boxes of premium quality stems freshly picked for us by Westwoods near Leeds.

Lots of you have commented on how rhubarb used to be grown by everyone - so there's your challenge for next year - let's get Slawit on the West Yorkshire rhubarb map !

In the meantime, come in and enjoy some of this year's crop - and get ready for next week's celebration when we will be singing the praises of brilliant beetroot !

Rhubarb

Here's our attempt to replicate the Yorkshire rhubarb triangle in our garden. This was splitting and re-planting Stocksbridge Arrow and Timperley Early last winter. They're just starting to show signs of life now and we're hoping to have enough to supply some to the GVG in the spring.
