Rhubarb-rhubarb

[sjbrownderby]

Has anyone here in Thailand tried to grow rhubarb? We are in the early stages of growing from seed and so the plants are looking good.

Needs lots of water. Best to grow them at the water side. My knowledge of rhubarb in Europe.

In the mountain region of Chiang Mai ...maybe !! Same for parsnips ..to hot here!!

The Royal Projects in Doi Inthanon have grow rhubarb but it's pretty feeble being mainly green and stalks diminutive. There's a RP shop in Chiang Mai.

I do miss a good Rhubarb Berry Pie

[Mahseer]

Love at First Bite in Chiang Mai sell rhubarb pies that includes redcurrants or similar. Pretty good with a healthy scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Stewed rhubarb and apple with vanilla ice-cream, takes me back a long way.

I always have several bin tubs of Rhubarb stocked in the cupboard.  Lovely with custard. 

 

This is the first year I am without any as my visitors from UK have not been able to get here due to the virus situation.

My wife has grown it in Kap Choeng Surin. Not a problem. She did not grow it this year as no demand by the Thai's.

I used to love rhubarb & custard as a kid, my mum made it often. Haven't had it for years.

[Speedo1968]

A lot of rhubarb in England is grown in big sheds after the 2nd year of planting outside so that it can be grown inside,

I love Rhubarb, especially Rhubarb and Ginger jam, have tried growing it from

seeds, and corms brought from UK, did not grow just died, Royal Project grows

some, some is imported from Oz, but very expensive.

 

Found some Rhubarb Jam in Big C, own brand 90 Thb, so bought what they had,

probably never see it here again,

We are not so far away from you so there seems to be no problem with the climate in this region.

And what about BIRDs custard then?

[Saltire]

Used to be difficult to STOP it growing back home in Scotland.

 

Rhubarb crumbles, pies, rhubarb and custard, jam, all aroi but not the same as my childhood memory of a fresh cut stalk of rhubarb and a bag of sugar to dip it in.

 

Amazingly I still have all my own teeth.

Not cool and wet for long enough anywhere south of northern Thailand. That's why the aforementioned Royal Farm shops have big seasonal variations on size and availability. I haven't seen any so far this year.

 

The best rhubarb regionally is in northern Vietnam and southern China where's there's a miserable climate like Dundee.

'Wet'' is not a problem for us. We have this stuff called water on tap 24/7. We even give it to the many plants and trees we grow and they seem to like it.

Probably not made with fresh rhubarb.

Yes, there's plenty of imported, canned rhubarb available here.

Which contain additives and preservatives and so useless for many rhubarb recipes which call for the use fresh rhubarb.

I am cool enough already for my rhubarb

If I remember correctly, fellow TV member rice555, grew/grows it on his land in Korat.
