How long to pick rhubarb?
The rhubarb at the allotment is going great guns and I'm trying to keep it
thinned out by picking the thickest stems to give the others room to grow up and out. It seemed to crop forever last year although I think we kept on picking for too long. So how long should you pick before you leave it alone to build itself up for next year? There are a couple of very large crowns which must be pretty old - came with the allotment. Cheers Dave R |

Let the frost get to them and then replant the things. Or give them away. |
