What are the large seed-like bulbs growing on my rhubarb plant?
My rhubarb plants have large seed like bulbs growing on them. Some are turning red. Is this normal or should I cut them off?

Cut them off. Your rhubarb plant is trying to flower and you want to encourage leaf and stem growth not blooms.
Keep growing,
