The kind we have is green & red. Rhubarb likes compost a LOT. When I split plants, I put a bucket full of cow poop in the bottom of the hole. They love it. Jan |

I thought you couldn't eat the rhubarb until the stems
turned red. I've been waiting for my to turn and now you tell me there's a green variety. How can you tell if it's ready?

they are ready whenever you want a pie. mostly we cut the bigger ones of course, and
I know there is some date at which we are supposed to stop cutting just like asparagus course I cant remember when that is.

I'm going out to harvest some now! Thanks Bonnie NJ Jan Flora wrote: When the leaf is open, that stalk is ready. Remember to twist/pull the stalk from the base of the plant, don't cut it. And pull any blooms off, when they start showing up. I usually pick a bunch of it early in the spring, blanche it and throw it in the freezer, cut in 1" pieces. This year, I'm going to make some wine. Yum! Jan In article , Bonnie Espenshade wrote: I thought you couldn't eat the rhubarb until the stems turned red.
