Rhubarb

Hi can anyone tell what I have done wrong with the rhubarb, it seems to have gone an bolted on me.

 

Have you kept it watered so its roots have been kept moist? I know we've had some quite dry weather for a few weeks before the most recent rains.

 

I will give it a good water tonite. Do I leave the tall thing on, I'm tempted to cut it off thank you for your help in advance "M"

 

Cut it off, but try to make sure you don't leave the hollow stem so it will hold water in it, don't want rot setting in

 

Thank you.

 

If a plant is stressed 'cos of lack of water, it will go quickly into reproductive mode whilst it still has the strength left to do it.
Bless it, give it a hug...
