Rhubarb and Strawberry
 These are freshly picked Rhubarb from my mothers garden. These delicious strawberry rhubarb was plated years ago by my Dad who was a organic farmer for years.

I’ve tryed to grow rhubarb in my garden for years but you need the prefect place to plant them, the sun needs to shine on them most of the day. Plus rhubarb needs rich soil and you need to move the rhubarb to a different location in your garden every few years.

The reason behind that is it helps the roots of the rhubarb grow better. Until I fine the perfect place for my rhubarb plants I will go to my moms garden and pick hers, then I’ll trade with rhubarb and strawberry jam. 😊

One of my favourite jams is rhubarb and strawberry it is so delicious you can eat it from the bottle. If you don’t believe me you can make it for yourself and tell me what you think. But if you decide to make your jam with frozen rhubarb thaw it first to remove some water and then follow the recipe.

Every second person in Newfoundland and Labrador got these beautiful rhubarbs growing in their back yards and some never do anything with them, some people would say I don’t like rhubarb. But if I give them a bottle of rhubarb and strawberry jam or rhubarb relish they will say this is rhubarb, it’s so delicious.
