Can I still harvest it?
After watching HFW this week I really fancy some rhubarb!
I wouldn't! See the comments in this thread as to why not -

No I wouldn't neither..but next year when rhubarb is in season..chop few sticks in pieces and freeze for those late season urges.. ;)
OK thanks!
GL - this is the first time this year it's actually looked good enough to eat!
I think I'll go with apple instead!
Rhubarb.
Ist year....Dont touch. :(
2nd Year...Pick less than half. :-\
3rd Year....Pick what you want. ;D
Winter standing. Cover with manure. ;)
Mine has just about rotted away so I certainly wouldn't fancy eating it now.
If yours is an older plant you can force it to get an early crop of super soft rhubarb, but it's a while yet before you can do that (I cover one plant in Jan).
