On good ground rhubarb requires no attention, other than to harvest, on less good ground a beneficial autumn mulching seems advisable. Picks for a long season but best in spring when growth is young and stems are tender. Better still forced into growth early under a traditional terracotta cloche that excludes light, lengthens growth and maximises the desirable rhubarb red pink colouration, ultimately creating premium quality rhubarb. All this weeks before the stems are naturally available. A kitchen garden must have.
