I have Timperley Early and only started harvesting a week or two ago, and it is far from productive at present, it's just starting to build up a head of steam. I have heavy cold clay soil, which might slow growth. It is tasty though.
When I got my allotment I was given rhubarb by fellow growers and now I have six plants all given a good return.
Just recently a plot was taken over by a nice couple and after getting talking to them they explained what they liked and did not. One being rhubarb however at a local garden centre a plant in a pot was ten pounds to Which I was staggered at.
I quickly told them to follow me which they did to my garden where I swiftly picked my spade and sliced through one of my big plants to give them a plant to which they were very grateful.
i said that if it was not for fellow gardeners on the plot my garden would not be where it is now as a lot of sharing and giving assists each other in our annual pilgrimage for a heavy return from our crops.
So fellow gardeners i am sure you do, however please keep the sharing up as i have only gone from strength to strength and still learning about that growing habit
Apology however the plants in the picture Marc are a chard of some type and very edible using the leaves as a spinach and the stalks chopped in omelettes
