Very nice!
I'm going to pick some tomorrow so we can have crumble on Sunday.  I don't think mine will be as bright as yours though.

Never mind, they soon get there. I never blanch mine as I like the stronger taste of the unblanched stuff.

I bought some pink champagne rhubarb so really pleased to see it turns a nice pink.  Unfortunately it will be next year before I can attack it.

In the garden I have some grown from seed, tends to be on the green side but excellent flavour.

I planted a few crowns this year an it has started to come through,I know you mustn't take any the first year to let it establish but do I just let it rot on the plant?
