It's bocking 14. Grew from a root cutting planted April-ish. It's
about 3ft high now. Why shouldn't I cut it please?


Mine came (from garden organic) with the instructions not to harvest
in the first year. It didn't say why not but I'm guessing that like
rhubarb, asparagus and sea-kale it needs an undisturbed first year to
build up strength in the roots.

Thanks Derek
