Seeking rhubarb, and making an offer

May 11, 2009 13:15

Anyone happen to have more rhubarb than they can use growing in their yard? I'll gladly take some off your hands. I'll even pick it myself, and bring back a jar or two of syrup, compote, or jelly/jam depending on your preference. Alas mine is still too young to pick from really ( Read more... )

This probably isn't helpful, but this post just made me totally want to listen to Prarie Home Companion.

Amusingly enough, I learned to home-can whilst listening to Prairie Home Companion. Well... when we did it in the evenings. All-day marathons usually started off with Car Talk. Ahh to be a public radio child...

Public radio kids are the best kind. Never canned while growing up, but fondly remember those all day marathons in the car with my dad doing errands, listening to Car Talk, Wait, Wait...Don't Tell Me, This American Life, and eventually a Prairie Home Companion...and I grew up in Minnesota :) That brings back great memories, thanks!

We have a bunch of rhubarb that came in our farm share last week, and we haven't done anything with it. If you want it, it's yours. pm me and i can give you my address.

Marty, i am getting more rhubarb in the farm share this week. do you want it?

martygreene May 14 2009, 14:51:50 UTC

I did, thank you.
Unfortunately I wouldn't be able to pick up until Sunday (or Mon-Wed, if you aren't in town again yet by Sunday). When do you get back into town? You can chuck the rhubarb into the freezer if you need, won't harm it any for my purposes.

I got rhubarb with my farmshare, too. You can have it, I'm not going to use it. I was going to leave it on my porch today, but I forgot. If you want, you can pick it up from my porch (in Greenfield) tomorrow. Send me a pm for my address.

hmm, I'd love it, but I won't be able to pick up until tomorrow (friday)...

lilostitch May 14 2009, 14:56:07 UTC

I didn't put it out this morning because I hadn't heard from you yesterday. If you would like to pick it up tomorrow, that's great.

martygreene May 15 2009, 02:36:46 UTC

Yeah, I can pick it up tomorrow. email me martygreene AT gmail with your address.
