[CONTEST] Guess My Garden #1 - Is it a fruit or is it a vegetable...
Time for another little contest - this time from my garden.
Winter is coming to an end, plants are starting to emerge again.
Can you guess what is growing in my garden...
Guess what this is from my garden
As winter comes to an end, the days get warmer and the sun shines longer, the plants are waking up again.
This little plant has been dormant underground over winter, but is now just pushing up through the soil again.
In just a few weeks this will start to provide food for the table.
But be careful what you eat - some parts of this plant are poisonous.
Can you guess what this is?
Some people say this is a fruit, others say it is a vegetable...
If you think you know what this is, put your answer in a comment below.
Include both the English common name, and the Latin scientific name to avoid any confusion.
One guess only per person, and no editing of comments.
There will be a prize of 150 TRX for the first person to post the correct names in a comment below.
The contest will close when someone gets the right names, or when this post pays out in 7 days time.
Thank you

It's a Rhubarb, I think.
I didn't know the Scientific name so I had to Google it which is Rheum Rhabarbarum.
I have never seen it in Pakistan nor eaten it but have seen this red veggie a lot in Master Chef Australia show. It's leaves are said to be very poisonous.
Congratulations on being the first with the correct answer for my first #guessmygarden contest.
The TRX prize has now been sent.
Thank you so much. It was a fun contest.
Congratulations, dear!
Great work

In my area the name of this plant is Rhubarb. While the scientific name of Rhubarb is Rheum x hybridum.
Rhubarb is a vegetable known for its tart taste and thick stems. Usually rhubarb is cooked with sugar. Rhubarb stalks range in color from pink to pale green and have a consistency similar to celery.
Rhubarb is commonly found in mountainous areas around the world, especially in East Asia. This plant is also a common garden plant in plants by people in North America and Northern Europe.
Thank you for entering this contest.
Although you were the second to enter with the correct answer of Rhubarb. You had the correct Latin name for the cultivated, edible version of Rhubarb. I have therefore sent you a runners-up prize of 100 TRX.
Thank you very much, this is a contest to sharpen the brain. I'm so happy @pennsif.
I hope this will be true,
Rhubarb(Rheum rhabarbarum), This is a plant that usually grows on the ground but can also be used as a plant that can be used as an interior ornamental plant in the kitchen, it can be placed inside it will be more luxurious.
This plant that is consumed is the young stem because it contains less oxalic acid than the old stem but has a high vitamin C content, so it is very good for the body.
Rhubarb has seeds to sow, but it is highly recommended if we buy or take shoots that are more than a year old because the roots will be stronger and easier to grow.
Rhubarb is harvested by turning the stems slightly and pulling them out carefully, but harvesting must be sufficient so that the rhubarb does not die and planted in the sun with adequate water intake.
Its scientific name is Rheum Rhabarbarum, it is native to Eastern Siberia, Mongolia, and China used to medical purpose. Rhubarb is very good consumed with milk or cream that will neutralize the oxalic acid, and rhubarb can be made in a variety of basic food preparations such as ice cream, chips, juices, pies, etc.
