Previous owners of the house left this in the garden. I don’t know if it’s a vegetable or just a giant weed. Please help.

    Rhubarb! It’s perennial so it will keep coming back.

    Looks like Rubarb to me!
    My mother loves this stuff. Can be eaten raw or cooked.

    It’s rhubarb. The leaves are poisonous to animals but most animals leave it alone. The stalks make excellent pie!

    Rhubarb!

    Get some pie shells, some strawberries, slice up the strawberries and rhubarb stalk, mix a bit of sugar and corn starch in and you’ll have a Strawberry Rhubarb Pie which happens to be my favorite, best served with a plop of vanilla ice cream

    Rhubarb leaves are poisonous and it is recommended to eat only fresh stalks. Here it’s a staple spring crop and you stop eating it after Midsummer. But I have heard of people who cut all the stalks in June and get a second crop of fresh stalks.
