This gallery is a complete chronicle of my 40th year, starting on my birthday in 2008. I posted one photo each day for a year. The photo-a-day project continues in this gallery here.
June 5, 2008; Day 34.
Bitter Harvest.
Today I harvested the biggest stalks of rhubarb from my rhubarb patch. As you can see, they all fit comfortably in a 1-cup measurer. At this rate, I’ll get a pie every four years. Sigh.
Here again I’m having fun with wireless flash, holding it low in the leaves. I love how the light brings out the red of the stalks, the vein of the leaves, and the grain of the table.
Here is a shot of my rhubarb patch before the harvesting. Only the skinny little stalks remain; we’ll see if they improve with the competition removed.
You probably know this but rhubarb greens do NOT make a festive addition in your salad! The leaves have oxalic acid in them which is fatal in sufficient doses.

PS: Rotate 3 degrees to better align cup top, then crop out black bars.
