thank you for such a tip @jkiw, I didn't know that - pulling instead of cutting ! ^ ^

am happy you shared it with me, don't worry though, this one's been very bushy this year so it really needs trimming. We normally just harvest a few as we're only two but this year, it's gone mad it wants to occupy more space than it's supposed to. Some mushrooms also grew around it and we're worried it would keep spreading with the help of the shade of the rhubarb's leaves so we beheaded plenty to make sure the sun gets to peep.

I hope you enjoy your rubharb salsa and that you had a great time BBQing ^ ^!
cheers to sharing a bountiful habit!
