Does anybody know if I can get the Timperley Early variety of rhubarb in the United States? I love rhubarb, and this variety seems to be one of the earliest growing. The problem is that I’ve only seen it for sale in the UK.

If anybody has a guide they like better, please share.

These poppies have just been propagating naturally in my yard. I don’t do anything except leave them alone. We got so many this year that we spotted several people stopping to take selfies with them :)...
