Make sure to "cut" rather than pull (like with the edible stalks) the flower stem, which is hollow, as close to the ground as possible to minimize unbeneficial insect habitat.<br />Good luck with the plant!!Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00996452659184909862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3617428990857687043.post-22991436414250230452013-05-13T09:46:19.197-04:002013-05-13T09:46:19.197-04:00Your garden is doing great!!

I guess it must never frost after the 15th. Of course back then she covered the rows with gunny sack(burlap feed sacks) if we had a late frost. Hum, now why did we always call them gunny sacks??<br /><br />Sorry the weather and the snotty nose kept fun activities indoors.

Hopefully the little guy is feeling better now. :-) My rhubarb has flowered in the past, but I learned that the flowering stalk needs to be cut off.

It looks like tent city around our place with plants covered to protect from the predicted frost. I awakened at five early this morning to check the temperature which was 28 and now at 7:00 am it is 26 . . . I see sunshine in the East so hopefully it will warm things up. Snow flurries here yesterday too.<br /><br />Sorry Tyler was not feeling well and the weather didn't cooperate. <br /><br />First look at the last photo of your post . . . I thought turkey legs!
