[Highland Park] rhubarb

I took out a large rhubarb from my garden this morning and the split plants are free for the taking. The rhubarb is red-stemmed from the start and has very large green leaves. It's quite decorative as well as making good stems for stewing or preserves (just make sure they are ripe and remember the leaves are poisonous). It comes up in early spring. I split the plant into about 4 equal grocery bags and they are on the lawn in a cardboard box at 1437 Greystone. I can't guarantee they will grow -- the roots were deeper and bigger than anticipated and I had to cut some of them -- but they are free if you want them. If no one takes them, I'll put them out for garbage pick-up. Morgen
