I'm ready for fresh food!

I've been thinking about my rhubarb a lot this week. Mainly because the snow is finally starting to melt, and I can actually see the ground. It's got me waiting impatiently for those first bright red stalks to poke through the ground. 

Perennial veggies, like rhubarb, are kind of the unsung heroes of the garden. 

Once you get them established, they grow themselves with minimal fuss. And most show up long before our fussy annuals are ready. They're the perfect palette cleanser after a winter of heavy food. I'm planning on adding quite a few perennial vegetables to my garden this year. How about you?
