I planted 2 rhubarb crowns, 1 died and the other has grown well but the stalks are still green while the leaves are now dying. Can you pick and eat the green stalks before the whole thing dies.

The variety of yr rhubarb will dictate that. Some produce stems that remain green in colour ie do not turn red. Check your variety for its characteristics.
