Gardening According to Donna, by Donna Frantz , is a great gift for Father's Day, birthdays or any occasion! Buy my book especially for beginning gardeners or just for yourself, because you would like to have a copy of your very own.

My fifty-plus years of Minnesota garden experience fills 72 pages with tried and true vegetable gardening hints. Its compact size makes it easy to carry along to the garden and the book is spiral bound so it lays flat. There is an area on most of the pages for you to write your own notes too as you experiment in your garden and learn! It's good to be able to keep track of your progress!

Rhubarb Torte

Here is a reprint of the first recipe I in a newsletter back in May 2008. Its so good its worth repeating!

Mix these ingredients like you would a pie crust.

1 cup butter
2 cups flour
2 tablespoons sugar

Pat into a 9" x 13" GLASS cake pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes.

5 cups chopped rhubarb (from At the Farm) goes on the baked crust after it cools just a bit.

Mix together:
6 egg yolks - beaten (from At the Farm )
2 cups sugar
4 tablespoons flour
1 cup cream

Pour over rhubarb and bake at 350 degrees for 35-45 minutes.

For the meringue beat 6 egg whites and 1/2 teaspoon of cream of tartar to soft peaks. Add a shake or two from the salt shaker to the cream of tartar if you like.

Then, one tablespoon at a time, slowly add 12 tablespoons sugar, while beating at medium speed. Then beat on high speed until very stiff. Spread over rhubarb mixture in cake pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 15-18 minutes.

Enjoy!
