Donna Thomas-Rodgers, PhD, suggests allowing teens to go to group dances and supervised events at 14, on group dates at 15, and on individual dates at 16. âWhen teens start at 15 years old with actual group dating, you can support the childâs dating choices and supervise their decisions,â Thomas-Rodgers told SheKnows.
RHUBARB Overview Information. Rhubarb is a plant. The root and underground stem (rhizome) are used to make medicine. Rhubarb is used primarily for digestive complaints including constipation, diarrhea, heartburn, stomach pain, gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding, and preparation for certain GI diagnostic procedures.
Rhubarb plants have large stalks that produce leaves and flowers. The stalk is the portion of the plant that is eaten, and the flower and leaves are discarded. Although rhubarb is used mostly for pies and jellies, it is considered a vegetable. Harvest rhubarb when the stalks are between 10 and 15 inches long. The stalk is the celery-like, curved reddish portion of the plant. If all of the stalks have not grown to this size, do not remove the smaller stalks. Remove only a few stalks of rhubarb the first year it has been planted.
