Rhubarb Woes
Hi all
Noticed yesterday that the Rhubarb had 3 or 4 big squirly seed pod things on . Last year it did really well, but I didn't pick any stalks as it was its first year. This year I noticed what-looked-like corn on the cob wraps appearing at the base of some stems, but didn't recognise them as seed pods. Within a couple of weeks the pods sprouted like triffids - very strange looking! According to various sites, these should be removed, so I pulled up out the stems that the pods were attached to. My rhubarb now looks like a shadow of its former self . Should I have started picking the rhubarb stalks earlier? Would this have prevented the formation of the seed pods? Will I still be able to harvest stalks for eating? If so, should I leave the plant to recover a bit? TIA Phil |
