RE: Sweet day in the summer garden. The aroma of summer in each jar.

so you also harvest them by cutting the bottom?
I do exactly the same ^ ^

Yes, I cut and leave only the stems. They say that the root has medicinal properties, but I know little about it. So we don't use them. The stem is only for cooking. Since early spring, when he appears and he is still young, we make smoothies with various additives. I like to drink it like a first Breakfast. But by summer, rhubarb grows so much that we can make a lot of jam for our whole long winter. In early July, we start to cut it and cook jam
yes, it seems that no amount of cutting would stop them from growing back
as if laughing at us saying; " we're stronger than the many of you humans, you may keep cutting us but we'll show you what pushing through hard times mean" :D and the grow harder than before I even cut them - with even thicker stems the next time ^ ^
That's for sure! They have an amazing ability to grow and so we have to dig up some of them and give to other people for their garden. Otherwise, they threaten to take all the empty seats in our garden, :)
