I am going to get a bunch this week
I plan on drying the rhubarb I get this week, it is from an old patch. I am starting to prepare a spot to plant my own this fall so I don't have to beg from others. I usually freeze the rhubarb I get but tried drying it one year and it saves a LOT of space in a jar on the shelf.
I usually just eat it as a cooked sauce with some strawberries in it. This year I will have my own strawberries to freeze and add to it.
The cold winter temps in MI are just what rhubarb plants need to wake up in the spring to produce.
