Default Maximising Rhubarb Crop

Take it young and in the evening.

The sun works on Rhubarb in such a way that it is sweeter in the evening
than in the morning.

Pull it young and you can either blanche it before freezing OR if it is
very young, you can freeze it direct.

However, freezing does seem to turn sweet rhubarb rather tart :-{

EVERYBODY'S Rhubarb is cropping well now, that is why it is so cheap in
the shops, whereas a couple of months ago it was a luxury.
