I planted rhubarb in a shady patch of my garden last year, but moved it in spring to a sunny position once I learnt it needs a sunny location. There is a lot of growth on the plant now (end April) but all the stalks are green, and the centre stalk has gone to flower (it’s about 4 ft high now). I’m wondering whether I should leave the plant alone to die back naturally, and hope to have edible stalks next year, or should I cut the flower stalk and / or some of the foliage now?

Cut down the flower stalk and use some of the leaf stalks now. Green ones are perfectly good. And feed with some lawn mowings during the summer.
