Rhubarb query3
Jumping on the bandwagon, Can anyone suggest whi my well establishe
rhubarb root (about 6 crowns) is prone to flowering every spring? I pick until about this time of year and then leave it to build up for next year. I have read that some plants will flower when in distress to ensure continuation of the species. Any advive?
