Rhubarb can't be harvested the 1st and 2nd years because Rhubarb needs that time to establish its root systems. If you were to harvest it, the plant would then spend its energy making more stalks and leaves and not on root growth. Although during the second year, you can harvest some stalks, but only a 1/3 of the plant.
The best time to harvest rhubarb is in the morning after the dew has dried but before the heat of the day sets in. This timing helps preserve the plant's moisture and ensures the stalks are crisp and fresh. Additionally, harvesting in the cooler part of the day minimizes stress on the plant and enhances the quality of the stalks.
Rhubarb leaves may be safely composted and the compost will not inhibit future plant growth
