Hello

Bonjour Peri ,

J'ai acheté de la rhubarbe parce que j'ai tué la plante que j'avais dans le jardin

In other words I have been out buying rhubarb from the supermarket as I killed the plant I had in my garden . Just fancied some Rhubarb crumble and as there isn't even a leaf left in my garden had to buy it from my local Supermarket . Apparently I achieved the impossible , its is so so difficult to get rid of rhubarb from any garden but I managed it , never had green fingers . I can picture Percy Thrower shaking his head :fp: I would probably be banned from Gardener's Question time as I don't have even the minimal skills to earn the right to ask a question .
 
When you were kids assume you used to scrump apples maybe , we tried same thing with rhubarb by climbing into the gardens where we knew they grew it . One of us was designated , as part of our "mission" , to borrow a bag of sugar from their kitchen cupboard so we could dip the rhubarb in to sweeten it up . We were caught a few times and frog marched home by the irate home owner for the compulsory tongue lashing from our parents and worse for stealing the Rhubarb . The kid who had "borrowed " sugar of course got double bubble , Happy Days! :) I think that's why I love it so much now .
