Default Rhubarb - Can it be True?



"TheScullster" wrote in message

Hi all

I planted rhubarb at the end of last year (don't have variety to hand )
Anywho, I read somewhere that it should not be picked in the first year.
Can this be true?
My plant is about 4' high and the same in diameter - will it miss a couple
of sticks?

TIA

Phil


That's the normal advice but I daresay it won't miss a couple stalks as you
suggest but personally I wouldn't want to eat it at this end of the season
