I haven't had a chance to get out and cut any rhizomes like I had wanted. We've had some amazing weather for so early in the season. Today's high is about 80 degrees! So now I have shoots coming up all over the place - probably averaging 6 inches long or so, though some may be longer.

Is it too late to cut the rhizomes? At what point in the season does doing so become detrimental to the season's harvest? Any problem in replanting the cuttings?

Thanks!

Chris
 
Last year I split up a crown a week later than this not that much further north than you. You'll be fine. Just expect some die-back after you re-plant.
