  • Reach for the sky peas! That trellis is sturdy enough to hold you all.
  • Start by placing a row of bamboo stakes solidly in the ground. Weave another length of bamboo back and forth between the stakes. Repeat with another stake but alternating the weave.
  • Keep going until you have a complete and very sturdy trellis.
  • Train your plants up through the first few poles and then let them do their thing from there...these peas know what to do!

  • How to Harvest Rhubarb
  • To harvest rhubarb solidly grasp the stem and twist to the side and pull to remove. Do not cut the stalks.
  • Trim the leaves in a fan pattern for storing in the fridge or  trim the tops completely if you plan to use the rhubarb right away.
  • Whether stalks are red or green doesn't affect flavour, but the red stalks are generally preferred to make the beautiful pink colour often associated with rhubarb desserts...
