Our Second Order of Fall Potatoes Has Arrived!! This is the perfect time to get them planted! CLICK HERE TO SEE OUR FULL POTATO SELECTION I was so tickled when I came across this 1911 Thanksgiving Dinner Menu listing Rhubarb Pie as the final item. Just this morning I'd spoken with a friend about bringing Strawberry-Rhubarb Pies to her home next Thursday, noting that while not the traditional Pumpkin Pie, we do have lots of Rhubarb in the garden right now, and everyone loves my pies! It's great to see that, indeed, Rhubarb was the pie of choice a hundred years ago; I'd say it's time to bring it back to the Thanksgiving table!! By the way, Pre-Ordering for Rhubarb Crowns begins in 2 weeks! I promise, you will love growing this beautiful Perennial Vegetable!! Well, that's it for the moment, Friends... We do wish you all a very Happy Thanksgiving, and we hope to see you (and your gardening pals) here next Saturday, the 25th for our Green Saturday Sale!
