Since I almost always have flour, salt, sugar and shortening on hand, it's easy to make a pie.<BR/><BR/>My rhubarb grows in sun and does great. I think rhubarb is basically just a glorified "weed" and will do great just about anywhere...<BR/><BR/>--Kim JohnsonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20381399.post-59729516132873310282008-06-21T13:51:00.000-05:002008-06-21T13:51:00.000-05:00Jeannie,All the hard work has paid off and it look...Jeannie,<BR/><BR/>All the hard work has paid off and it looks great!

But that is English sun! Mind you, it gets incredibly hot and humid at times here too.

I love rhubarb too, and mine gets full sun (but that's Scottish sun!) and seems happy enough. <BR/><BR/>Sounds like this house is revealing lots of hidden treasures!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20381399.post-12751164121047351622008-06-20T23:54:00.000-05:002008-06-20T23:54:00.000-05:00Taryn--You're expecting an employee/child??

I am thrilled for you guys--how wonderful.<BR/><BR/>Rhubarb...Our neighbor's and my grandma's both thrived in full sun, and the planting instructions on both varieties said full sun, so...hopefully they like full sun! Actually, in the spot they're in, they'll get it from about 12:30 on--I've been hoping that will be enough.<BR/><BR/>Heather--<BR/><BR/>We will be keeping an eye on the sandbox--but I was surprised at how clean the sand is, especially with the house being vacant so long! The neighborhood cats must have other favorite litterboxes.<BR/><BR/>:)<BR/><BR/>JeanneAt A Hen's Pacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02244490539003130874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20381399.post-73624034299964295232008-06-20T18:46:00.000-05:002008-06-20T18:46:00.000-05:00Nice work, Jeannie!

For that matter, pick up some "clean" sand at the home improvement store and throw it on top of the existing sand. The idea of kids playing in a glorified litter box creeps me out! [I also sanitize toys when they fall on the floor, spray shopping carts with lysol, and carry hand sanitizer - I'm told that I'll eventually stop this as more kids arrive]Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00172636187611286057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20381399.post-12451738732457386782008-06-20T14:58:00.000-05:002008-06-20T14:58:00.000-05:00I can't wait until our own child/employee is born....I can't wait until our own child/employee is born. ;)<BR/><BR/>I thought that rhubarb needed to grow in part-shade.
