Took a whole bunch to my sister's farmers' market stand, last Saturday.

Not a rhubarb expert but I agree, they stalk turns reddish when ready.

Where is this plant? If it is in the US it is very early for rhubarb. When I live in New York state it was usually ripe towards the end of the summer.

This week and next are basically prime rhubarb season in Wisconsin. I have some gorgeous ruby red stalks out by my driveway.
