My rhubard is flowering, how can I stop it?
Will it grow any more stalks? I have cut the flowers off.

Pull out the stalks with the flower heads. They will compost quite
safely if you wish.

You'd also be advised to harvest some of the stalks for eating and/or
preserving. Don't exhaust the plant by taking everything.

Some varieties are prone to this. I think hot dry weather makes it
worse too.

Just had our first Rhubarb Crumble and Custard of the season if that is
anything of a clue ;-))
