Is your rhubarb bolting already?
 
When your rhubarb seems to be bolting too early, ask yourself these questions...
 
- Is your rhubarb an heirloom or a new variety? Older varieties tend to bolt sooner. Try planting a newer variety.
 
- Is your rhubarb very established? The older your rhubarb, the quicker it bolts. If you divide your established rhubarb, it revitalizes your plant and can thwart flowering.
