27th February. Covering the rhubarb crowns to force growth of delicate stems.

Here they come!

The young, slender, pink stems have been growing quickly and trying to reach the light.  They have a delicate texture and flavour and need less sugar than the more robust stems that grow later in the season.  We do need to find taller pots to cover the crowns as these stems are still quite short.  We cover the crowns for only a short while as the plants will become weak without the energy from the sun.
