Default WTD: Rhubarb plants

The message
from "mike. buckley" contains these
words:

Anybody know where I can get some online? Ideally I'd like a plant I can
harvest from this year (wine making, yum).


Don't harvest from rhubarb until it is properly established (so, no
harvesting in the first year you plant it). A newly planted rhubarb only
grows three or four stalks in the first year, and if you cut them off
you're depriving the root of food, so next year's crop will be even
sparser.
