Is it advisable to wait a year before harvesting from a transplanted plant? I know one must wait a year when planting rhubarb for the first time so I'm wondering if this qualifies as a new plant since I moved it? Is this a dumb question or what? I don't know of any other plant in my garden that has this requirement, so I have no experience with the procedure. And I mainly use if for a lovely ornamental anyway, but every now and then get a need for rhubarb pie.
Thanks...EJ

If the plant is healthy I would harvest a little bit.
