Rhubarb going to seed ?

I think my rhubarb is going to seed it as what look like flowers coming up from the middle of it . Is this the end of my rhubarb, will I have to dig it out and start again. Thanks

Just cut the flower spike off. The plant will survive.

From my understanding rhubarb flowers if it is too dry or needs more nutrients

Cut them off. They take away the growth from the stems.

Ours flowers but just get broken off we can pick rhubarb almost year round here.

They are gross feeders, need heaps of tcl . Water situation down our way has been minimal so far this season, can you put some old rotted animal manure around it and give it a good soaking?
