A couple of months ago, I subdivided this rhubarb plant, and am happy to say that I now have three plants which should provide more rhubarb than the single plant.
The sour stalks, stewed or steamed and sweetened, make a dessert which has a laxative effect. Nice cooked with apple!
The compounds, emodin and rhein, in rhubarb, give it the ability to fight tumors. In Chinese medicine, it is used as a mild antibiotic. Rhubarb is recommended for people suffering from lack of appetite, liver problems and sluggish bowels.
THE LEAVES ARE POISONOUS, so only the stem is used!
In the Bushland
In the evenings, when hubby and I
go walking in our nearby bushland, we always see these two ducks together near a dam.
I think they are bonded for life!
May our lives show commitment to others.
