Rhubarb?

Has anyone seen any rhubarb at any of the local markets?

    1. I saw some at the Ferry Building Farmers Market last Saturday. I think it was at Terra (the chili pepper lady).

        1. I bought some at my local Safeway last week (Alameda). I think it was $2.50/lb. I haven't yet seen it at Farmers' markets in the East Bay.

            1. Berkeley Bowl's had it for a few weeks, organic and regular.

              Also, Spiral Gardens in Berkeley is selling rhubarb plants in 1-qt. pots for $10. I picked up one last week. Why not start your own pie patch?

                1. I bought some at the Mill Valley Market on Friday and made a great rhubarb-strawberry compote to go on top of vanilla cake!

                    1. Thanks, all -- it looks like it's only in a few places yet, so I'll keep looking for it; good to know that Berkeley Bowl has it. Heidipie, starting my own batch of rhubarb is a great idea, I'm just not sure if I have the room, or if it grows well in containers, I might ask about that over on the gardening board!
