I've got the biggest rhubarb plant I've ever seen growing next to my shop.  About 6' across.  Made some rhubarb crisp from it a couple of months ago.  Love it!

Had rhubarb crisp for a snack last night and breakfast today. GF and friends made concrete stepping stones with rhubarb leaves and cement a few times. Nice decorations for the garden.

Ok.  I had to look it up, because I've heard of, but never had rhubarb.  Why is it used as a pie filling?  Where I come from that would be cooked with ham hocks.  All I can assess from wikipedia is that it's a tart healthy laxative.   Sounds like something that my parents need to know about right away.

It is toxic but you have to eat 7 pounds.  I think the leaves are more toxic but who would eat them.

Mixing it with strawberry is a travesty.  I like strawberry but the tart of Rhubarb is why it is good and the strawberry takes too much away.  All the damn pies they sell are strawberry rhubarb.  I need to plant some rhubarb.
