    Wandring round the garden I noticed that my early rhubarb crown has
    started sprouting, presumably because of the mild weather. The question
    is, what should I do about it, if anything? I do not think covering it
    will work, as being fairly high up, we do get (usually) quite a lot of frost.Just hoping that it will survive!

    Ah, not the gardening poet the subject led me to expect. I am letting my rhubarb take its chances but I am in Hampshire, low down, north of the
    South Downs. I too would welcome any advice that would improve the outlook.

    No, sorry, my fingers are sometimes disobedient, otherwise my brain is
    not working again.
