[ShareTompkins] Rhubarb, anyone?

[E L Cobb]

When I moved in to my little bungalow on the South Hill Recreation Trail, I
inherited a well-established rhubarb plant, whose stems are ripe for
harvesting. The extent of my gardening heretofore has been houseplants, but
I am eager to begin learning to provide for myself and others on a (quite)
modest scale.

I would like to offer up most of this year's rhubarb harvest (all but three
or four stems) in exchange for something I need, for example:

   -

   an hour-or-so's worth on-the-job training in the pre-existing garden
   plots (e.g., plant identification, help cleaning up of non-native invasive
   and extremely enthusiastic volunteers [aka weeding], suggestions of
   competing, native perennials as replacements);
   -

   a gardener's stool on wheels; or
   -

   sharpening of knives and/or instruction in maintaining one's tools in
   optimum condition.

 If you also happen to have a gluten- and dairy-free rhubarb recipe to
share, that would be frosting on the cake. Is it needless to say that until
now not only have I never had a rhubarb in the garden, much less even
recognized one at the grocery store, but also have never cooked with
rhubarb?

If an exchange of this nature appeals to you, please let me know!
