I had no idea that rhubarb leaves were that huge!

Pretty self explanatory. Post animals, post pets, post stuff about animals and pets!

They can get pretty gigantic. They don't all grow to that size, but a rhubarb plant that's been in a spot it likes for a few seasons can be massive. Since the stalks are the edible part. We use those leaves as a chop and drop mulch to smother and cover weeds
My father used to make us all rhubarb pie...incredible flavor.
One of our market friends is a mom & pop bakery, and she asked this past weekend if we had any 😂
I agree, it's amazing
