Hi

I have some rhubarb in it's first year of growth - and doing very well.

I know I shouldn't pick any to eat this year, but not sure if I should
just leave the stalks/leaves in-situ to just die down eventually, or
whether I should be picking the stems and disposing of them.

Advice please.

Many thanks.


No harm at all in picking just a few stems to tease your palate, and
long as you leave plenty to feed the plant.

But make sure you give it a really good strong feed as soon as it starts
showing in the spring, followed by plenty of water.
