Haven't a clue what galangal is, or need to know what to use if you can't buy creme fraiche locally? We're sure our knowledgeable members will be able to point you in the right direction...
wasn;t quite sure where to post this, here or in gardening......seeing as rhubarb is one of delias recipes of the week.has anyone elses rhubarb plants absolutely taken off already?some of my stalks are almost ready for picking already and i haven;t forced it either - and i still have to pots in the freezer from last year?
Well - darn it - that answers my problem - my rhubarb seems to have died over the severe winter we have had - I was just wondering over the last few days if it shouldn't be showing signs of coming through by now - & if yours is that far advanced Sam _ think that confirms that mine has given up the ghost! - A visit to the garden centre would seem to be needed!
Christine, don't give up just yet with your rhubarb, I see Sam comes from Worthing so the temperature would be a bit warmer than Lancashire. My rhubarb is just starting to sprout and I live a wee bit further south than Sam - so maybe it has to do with the strain??Karen
I live near newark nottinghamshire and mine had started sprouting, alas I have lost quite afew of my hardy hebe's!
I live in Northern Ireland and my rhubarb is well up and nearly ready to pick to. Ann
You were right Kayb - just been out this morning & my rhubarb is now coming through - Yay!!! nothing there yesterday but it's now 2 inches high overnight - success.
Hi Christine, glad your pink stuff has sprouted, mine is about 6ins tall now so it shouldn't be long before I have enough to cook - and I still have some left over from last season in the freeezer!!Karen
