The Rhubarb of Doooom

[primsong]

Thinking of putting in a rhubarb plant now that my kids are older and I don't have to worry about them eating the leaves instead of the stems - thing is, rhubarb is kind of a permanent installation... I had a friend whose family decided to pave over an old garden area for additional parking in front of their house and after a couple years the asphalt kind of began to bulge and crack in one spot and then a rhubarb came up through the crack! Truly The Plant That Would Not Die.

Must be sure where it goes, because apparently it will Be There Forever.

Any of you have rhubarbs? Any opinions on red vs. pink vs. green stems? Or is it all cosmetic?

I have no idea about rhubarb whatsoever, but your title made me think 'what a lovely idea for a daft Dw fic'. once you've investigated the full evilness of rhubarb, you coud explore it in prose? :lol:

Ahhh! XD You're right! Hm. Giant rhubarb invades UNIT? Rhubarb is the cure for an alien plague? The possibilities...!

Somehow I instinctively saw it is as a Two story, but Capt Yates and Sergt Benton have already faced one horticultural problem - I'm sure they'd be up to it. :lol:
