in the first year of planting a new rhubarb corn do i just
leave the stalks and leaves to rot down on the plant ?
as I've been told not to harvest any sticks in the first year.
many thanks

Give it a good mulch of rotted manure in the winter too. They love a good feed.

Hi Fezzer and welcome to GoY. Yes just let the stems grow and then rot back down in order to help feed and establish the crown.
