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?


Many thanks. That all sounds like good sense.


It might if you knew the date.


It's a movable feast - as I said, when the gooseberries are ripe.
