The message
from "Plum" contains these words:

I believe there is a ruling or an old wives' tale that says you must not
pick and eat your rhubarb after a certain date during the summer. Anyone
know if this is the case, and if so why, and what the date is?

If you go on pulling rhubarb through the year you will so weaken the
crowns that the sticks will soon become weedy and thin.

One should stop pulling it around the time gooseberries ripen.

Some say that there is a lot more oxalic acid in the sticks after that
time, but I don't know if this is really so.
