Hi,


I have inherited a few rhubarb plants on my allotment. I don't know
what variety they are; are there many different types of rhubarb?


Yes, quite a few.


What should I do with it? I think I heard them saying on radio4 that
it spread like I weed. Did I hear correctly? Will I have to keep my
eye on it?


No, it doesn't spread. You don't need to worry about that.

They don't spread, but they do grow quite big. *So if all the OP has
seen of his rhubarb is their just out of winter state, he may be in
for a surprise when they start yawning and stretching :-)

Been picking mine while it has those lovely deep red stems, delicious with a
nice dollop of clotted cream


OK, you have me drooling now.
