So, it would appear that a recent day of heavy rain, followed by an unseasonably warm sunny spell, has brought on the start of rhubarb season!
Not only is my plant in the garden finally producing as it ought to be, I seem to have a field of it at the allotment. I don't know how many plants there are altogether. I thought there were 3, but I'm now wondering if there are more. When I popped down there yesterday I found this:

The finished meringue!
My slice. Note the al fresco dining, in March!
