Renegade escapee below the composter. I'm too lazy to walk down to the main patch in the garden.

Be careful - he's got a black belt in Torque Wrench and carries a concealed loaded one with him at all times. Granted the "concealed" part might be a stretch....

Down here in the wild country known as Iowa, where men are men and sheep are nervous, our enlightened legislature passed a stand your ground law last week which allows you to use a torque wrench to pound the snot out of any rhubarb thieves and if you can't get the job done you can call for your 8 year old daughter to fend them off with your Glock Pistola. No fooling. But very scary.

My rhubarb is fully capable of defending itself.

Can not for the life of me think why anyone could possibly imagine this " Rhubarb Index " could in any way be about " my rhubarb is bigger than yours " ........ It's about quality surely .... Mine is sweet red rhubarb !

You're weird! Strawberry-rhubarb is one of the best fruit flavour combinations out there.
Though rhubarb on its own is delicious too. Stewed rhubarb with fresh biscuits and a dollop of ice cream..... Mmmmmm.....

Strawberry - a quick way to ruin a rhubarb pie!
I'm with Jim on this. Rhubarb stands on its own just fine!
