Default harvesting rhubarb

My rhubarb was purchased as plants in 1.5litre pots (approx) and
planted last Feb 12 months - and to quote one of the regulars here, it
got the complete dead cow treatment at the time, and a further treat of
top mulch with home made compost three weeks ago. This is now its
second season in my garden, and it is absolutely flourishing in a
ginormous kind of way - making my badly located gunnera look like a
prickly alchemilla.... But never mind that.
How soon can I start cropping my rhubarb, and for how long?
I can't wait to start making rhubarb and ginger jam.

TIA
