First Year Rhubarb

Evening all,

I planted some crowns last autumn from the garden centre and they are doing really well.

Can I pick this year, or best leave alone?

I wouldn't, not in the first year. I heared you shouldn't consider harvesting any, and even then only a little, until the second year.

So, is it best just to let the plant grow and feed occasionally?

Anything else I should be doing?
