This is the first time we have planted various rhubarb crowns - now sprouting - should we leave it to go to seed, pick it, cut stalkes before they develop - not sure what to do.

You should leave your rhubarb to grow for at least one season before pulling stalks from it. However, if it throws up a flower stalk (you will know, honest) cut that off as you don't want the plant to flower or it will die. They are left uncropped for the first year or so to let them become well established.Happy Gardening,

Reply to Heated mat for Tom's and chilliesby raryI use a mix of six scoops of compost three scoops of sand/grit and two scoops of perlite,the quantity is unimportant as long as the ratio is the same, if for seeds I use this mix, if I am potting on I add some blood, fish and bone, along with a small quantity of chicken manure pellets
