Doing a bit of clearing up, I've found one of the crowns of rhubarba is
begining to grow! It is just one bud, but it has a one inch stem on it,
with the first leaf begining to unfurl. It was covered with leaves and
other debris, so I presume it was kept warm during the recent frosts.

So I just leave it to sort itself out, or is there anything I can do?

Best thing is to cover it up with straw or leaves. It will be OK,
don't worry.
Come the warm weather you can uncover it. I was in Wales at 1000ft.
Rhubarb struggles a bit at altitude.

Needs a little more thrust and a touch of flaps.
