My rhubarb and a few other on my site seem to have bolted 

I know i have to cut the flower off , but if possible could someone tell me the correct way to go about this?

Do i just cut the flower? or twist and pull the complete flower stem as if i was harvesting it?

Also why has alot of the rubarb on my site bolted is there anything i can do to prevent this in future?

Cheers MW.

It is what rhubarb does. Cut it off cleanly at the bottom.

Thanks for your advice Salmo , so u reckon best cut the flower stem not pull and twist as normal harvesting.

A job for my new Opinal knife at last

Well i cut it off , it has hole now running straight into the centre of the crown.

Now im worried about rot.
