we have a baby rhubarb patch! grant's grandma (the expert gardener) not only told us that this was the week to transplant rhubarb, she gave us three sprouts from her own garden. thank you, marian! she also told us that the rhubarb will be okay by itself while we're at camp all summer. it's hardy enough and doesn't require much babysitting. woohoo!
we won't have anything eatable for a couple of years, but i don't even care. there's something growing in our backyard (other than grass)! and good news: yesterday, it rained. grow little rhubarb, grow!
