I thought you were meant to stop picking rhubarb after the summer solstice to allow the plant time to recover and build reserves to last through the winter?

I also thought it was because the acid content is higher and can upset your stomach

Yeah I’ve heard that too (monty, naturally). I didn’t pick much earlier in the year and there was so much that I didn’t to waste it. There’s still about a third of the stems left and I’ll chuck some compost on in a month or so and hope for the best.
