The only edible part of the rhubarb are the pretty pink stalks, the leaves are highly poisionous.

Warning it smells obnoxious! also ensure that you wash your hands carefully after just in case.

Also prolific at this time of year are nettles, these have a number of use in the kitchen but you can also use them for the benefit of your plants.Fill an old onion sack with nettles, soak these in a drum of water. Put some of the solution into a watering can and dilute to the colour of weak tea and use as a general foliage feed.
Don’t be tempted to have it too strong, if it is too strong it can burn leaves,so stick to a dilution of a nice pale colour.
