Anyones rhubarb starting showing yet..?

[Northampton-Nick]

Nothing from the garden or the allotment yet but im expecting to see some shots coming soon...:-)

Mine's been through for a couple of weeks but not big enough to pull and I don't "force" it.

My well established rhubarb has been up for quite a while and is showing quite a lot of leaf. My new rhubarb that I planted last year is not showing at all yet...I hope it's ok

[Bren In Pots]

Mines just a few inches tall.

Im sure mine was around this time last year and with the mild weather i expected something ..im a very impatient gardener...:-) :-)

[Small pumpkin]

Yeah mines doing very well. Think it's an early variety.

[Chrissyteacup]

Mines not up yet (Victoria) but does seem to be sowing signs of growing!

[Chestnut]

Mine’s up, about 5” high so far

[MyWifesBrassicas]

Mines around 1ft in a cloche, looking forward to eating much of this. I planted it last feb and allowed it to grow unharvested, I nearly gave in to take a few stalks but resisted.
When do you start to pull it?

[mrbadexample]

Timperley Early, yes, 4-5 inches of growth.
Stockbridge Arrow, no, but not expected yet as it's a later variety.

I planted Raspberry Red in October....no sign of it yet. I was looking at it yesterday and wondering....

I have two in the back garden - one in the sun, and that is growing healthily, the one in the shade - nothing.

On the plot, the big brute is only just coming up now, but the little one in front of the chicken shed has been growing since before Christmas. Not much growth, but a little more every week. I keep tucking them away in mulch, but they keep peeping above lol

It depends on the variety. However, as a rule I'd say wait until April, and then only take a third of the stalks, leaving it for 2-3 weeks before taking more.

Aha, mine is in a spot that doesn't get much sun this time of year. Fingers still crossed!

Hi Paulie,

Thanks.
I've no idea what variety this is, was thinking about sourcing some when I spotted a "crown" in a skip.
Took it and split it into 4, all growing really well.
Love getting stuff for free, just no idea what variety i have, I'm sure it'll taste good unless I'm growing a giant hogweed crown
