My rhubarb is beginning to grow so with frosts forecast, is it worth
covering it with fleece?


I can only offer my own experience, here in Aberdeenshire. The rhubarb
usually appears above ground in January, and I leave it to itself. It
grows well every year, despite the best that NE Scottish weather can
throw at it. Minus two point something this morning, and snowing as I
type this, but I doubt the rhubarb will care :-)
