Hello Marcia, Rhubarb season is about over, depends where you live. I'd give it some more time.
if they get too big, they become stringy - try to harvest at 1/2 in or so
If you keep harvesting, you can prolong their season quite a bit -mine in northern Wisconsin is still going strong.
The huge stalks are very often "over-ripe" and very pithy - stringy and tough inside. Small ones are the best -
