I want one too! Rhubarb never looked so good.

That plant—with its claw-like leaves grabbing for the sky, owns that rain garden. The other plants are just its audience. This spring, every time my sister and I do our ‘walk about’ through her garden, the ornamental rhubarb is the topic of conversation and I wonder why I don’t see more people adding it to their plant list. Hopefully, Carol will get around to posting a photo of it soon...ahem.

We started this blog so we could talk casually and candidly about the plants that we grow. We aren’t going to sugar coat reality like the catalogs do. We want this to be a place where real gardeners go to gripe about or heap on the praises of their plants. Obviously, neither of us can get enough of gardening, so just picture us  sitting in our adirondack chairs and tapping away on our laptops with dirty fingers. —Susan
