Mine flowered last year, and I just whipped off the flowery bits. Still gave me loads of rhubarb from which I made loads of rhubarb schnaps.

I wouldnt worry too much, rhubarb is quite tough (I know HW, I know) but try a little tlc at the mo, some manure if you can get some is always good, just lay it round as a mulchy type affair.

One or two of mine are flowering too, even though the soil is nice and rich. I wonder if the cold winter had an effect?

If you let it goto seed won't it produce new crowns eventaully?

My early one is also showing signs of the huge flower buds!
Very early this year.....odd when all else is running late.

I did this with multi purpose compost at the weekend.

A few of my plants looked like they were going to flower a week or so ago, but as happened to Nicos, the big buddy bulby thing opened into leaves, no flower to be seen, so hang fire with the loppers people!
