Rhubarb

Rhubarb is a fantastic perennial vegetable choice for the corner of the garden. With a bit of effort getting just one plant established, it will produce over an over for ten years or more. Nothing beats the crisp, tart, sweetness of fresh rhubarb stalks baked in a cobbler, a pie, or served hot with some ice cream - yum! Plus, rhubarb is extremely cold hardy, and can be grown right across Canada.

After that, the stalks can be picked from February to April each year. Choose a sunny site for growing rhubarb.
