When the stocks on the rhubarb look thick it's time to start picking. And I learned the hard way you need to thin your plants out every x amount of years. They like lots of room.

I just assumed it would be the sharp edges! didn't really think about it beyond that. who knows though.

what constitutes thick though? I'll have to google it sometime lol

the rhubarb was here when we moved in and we won't be here forever so it won't come with us but that's good to know for the future!
