I know someone did this already, but I've lost the thread, sorry.

Popped along to the allotment yesterday and had a look, and the rhubarb
is
showing! Now this was showing on one plant a couple of weeks ago, just
about, but now /both/ are well on their way!

Nick is furious cos he wanted to split them!



Are you going to force it? At least put a bucket over it.

Only if you're going to dig it up and throw it away afterwards...

I thought Rhubarb was fairly indestructible. I was given a root many years
ago and in due course it was buried with building rubble, this it survived,
then later I lit a graden fire roughtly on the spot where the Rhubarb was
buried, this it also survived. The root originally came from Somerset in
the mid 1800s by the grandfather of a pal of mine. The stalks were huge and
the leaves were very big. If picked when quite young the rhubarb was very
nice.
