Rhubarb going to seed
Question:
My Rhubarb has come up and straight away gone to seed. What can I do to stop this happening as this is the second year this has occured. I have removed the seed heads.
Answer:
It is quite common for rhubarb to produce flowering stalks early in the season but it is nothing to worry about. Remove the whole stem, not just the seed heads and the plant's energy will revert to producing a good crop.
