All my rhubarb is producing lots of flower spikes this year. I think that it was due to the lack of rainfall/water that was making it try to reproduce! You need to pull the flower spikes off to stop the goodness being wasted, I would also give it a really good water.

Give it a bit of a feed as well - liquid seaweed or something

Yank the flowers out, speaking bluntly, your rhubarb is going to seed

. I de-flowered my rhubard at the weekend - I had two flowers coming up - and they went straight into the compost bin
