If your rhubarb has "bolted"(gone to seed) before you harvest it, the stalks lose flavor (like dandelions). You should harvest rhubarb when its about as thick as your finger, any thicker and it will get "woody" and have less flavor. If your plants are consistantly giving moster stalks, its time to divide the rootmass. You should cut the leaves off no less than 1" below where the leaf attaches to the stalk. Do NOT put the leaves in your compost, the acids will leach out and kill your plants (makes it too acidic)-toss them in the garbage. If you mix the arrowroot to the water before putting it on the heat it won't clump like it did. Rhubarb is still used as a stool softener, it is also used to cleanse the blood as a tea (it works on the internal organs responsible for cleaning blood), it also helps prevent urinal tract infections the way Cranberries do.
