Day 10: First Harvest
There is something particularly exciting about the first harvest of the year, which in Minnesota is typically:
…rhubarb.
It’s the first time of the year you get your knees in the dirt (and a fair amount under your finger nails if you’re doing it right). And you hack off so much green and branch, you can barely take a selfie with your bounty:
And then you trim,
…and wash,
…and chop,
…and go to sleep with the earth in your skin, conjuring up rhubarb recipes in your head.

I’ve been thinking about rhubarb scones. And rhubarb BBQ sauce. But not together. 😜
I am so intrigued by Rhubarb BBQ sauce… What about rhubarb beignet? Served hot with vanilla ice cream???
Oh! That sounds fantastic!
Rhubarb and Ginger jam, please. It’s my favourite.
I’ve never had that before! – sounds wonderful!
