My mate gave me some and they are 6" high.
I'm topping them up with straw to the top of the growth.

When do I stop putting straw on and when do I know when to dig them up?

Usually I wait until they start flowering then I stick my hand into the soil
and feel around for a few...just enough to make a single meal...HW

We've been pulling rhubarb for a couple of weeks now, but that's from
old long established crowns. Younger ones are well on, but not yet ready
to pick.
