My rhubarb has come on very well this year (uncovered and not forced).
So much so that I am tempted to pick some of the larger stalks (9-12
inches long). I've never picked this early before, usually starting
early-mid May, so I am wondering if it is wise to pick this early,
especially as ground frost is still forecast occassionally this week.

Main reason for the impatience is that we will be away for a while from
mid-May and I dont want to miss the wonderfull flavour of the early
stalks!
