(Lock Ness Monster?) I am planning to make a large round planter out of some of the stones I got such a great deal on. I think the large-leaved rhubarb growing out of this planter will make an excellent focal point. In the fall, I will probably plant Johnnies in the planter and in the spring, I am thinking of maybe growing bush peas or runner beans to fill out the planter until the rhubarb takes over. For now, though, I have rescued the roots from their green plastic bag prisons and put them into gallon nursery containers as they have already started to grow. Maybe in a few days, if it is not quite so chilly out, I will put them into the greenhouse until I get the planter built and it warms up enough for them to go into the ground.
Have a beautiful day!

I had no idea Rhubarb was a perennial! My grandma always did wonderful things with rhubarb. yum. Plus, I love the idea of growing things that can give sustenance. I will have to look at yous when we are up next to figure out where it would look pretty in my imaginary garden. :)

hi! i'm enjoying your blog when i see my name! thanks for the mention. you got me curious about the edibility of cardamine after reading your post. i notice the peterson guide to edible plants lists 4 types of cadamine as salad greens but not hirsuta. i'm not sure why that would be. i can't imagine there would be something drastically different about hirsuta. maybe it just doesn't taste as good as the others. anyway, i'm glad to know someone else finds weeds interesting. i just like to know "who's" growing around me! btw, i'm a fan of flylady, too.
