Hey, I've seen a few other people on here have the same issue. I've pretty much lost all sense of taste. Salt feels like sand, bananas feel like a tasteless banana, sandwiches feel like bread and water, pizza feels like dough and playdough.

It doesn't bother me too much but I am curious to know how long this lasts. I started eating rhubarb (bought from supermarket with leaves gone but I did leave the skin on and had it raw) on the 26/01/2021 and since that date in a matter of 2 or 3 days consumed about 4 medium sized pieces. At the time of posting this it is 01/02/2021 and the only progress of taste coming back is I can kind of taste sour things a little bit.

I might do updates if I sense improvements or changes. Any advice is appreciated!

UPDATE: It is now 04/02/2021 and I can taste toothpaste quite a bit more than I could previously. Salt and sugar are the main tastes that are inhibited for me right now but I was able to taste the tiniest bit of sugar in my breakfast this morning.

UPDATE 2: It's 05/02/2021. I can now taste salt almost completely and I haven't eaten anything sugary today so I can't comment on that.

UPDATE 3: It is 08/02/2021. I have now pretty much completely recovered all my sense of taste.

A month ago I was harvesting some rhubarb from my least favorite plant (variety: Victoria) in my patch, and a chunk of root came up when I was harvesting.

I threw it in a pot, threw in some dirt and a smattering of triple 13 fertilizer, and this is the result one month later.

I hope this subreddit can get some more traffic, as I enjoy seeing others posts about our favorite plant!

We live in coastal California (Santa Cruz, sith of San Francisco). We have 3 new rhubarb plants recently transferred from a planter into separate pots and planter. We read that they like sun but when the fog clears, usually late morning, they start to wilt after a few hours. They seem to drain well, vermiculite in the soil. Any suggestion really appreciated. I will be out of cell service starting Saturday afternoon so if I dint respond to any queries I apologize. I'll be forwarding any suggestions to my wife the gardener. Thanks
