Growing Rhubarb

I bought one rhubarb crown at the beginning of winter May 2018. I followed all directions and planted it in a raised garden bed in full sun. I had my first harvest at the end of October ...18 stalks about 45cm long. Obviously of the green variety as they did not go red. Absolutely delicious. I have now topped up the bed with mulch and cow manure and have 3leaves about 30cm long and 3new leaves poking through
