Rhubarb

Many people prefer not to cut the stalks as the cut area provides easy access for problems.  Best to pull the stalks directly away from the root area, perhaps with jsut a slight downward tweak of pressure.  Then trim th leaf end off and just the thumbnail sized end with the pink/white 'wedge' and the (brown, papery) stalk caul.

Currently got the 'old' crown forcing away under the upturned bin, and the (last year seed) newer ones looking disturbingly like harvestable!  (Anticipated losing some of the new ones that were grown from seed last year.  Didnt!)
