My rhubarb plant is about to flower which seems very early.
Can I continue to harvest this plant?

Don't allow rhubarb to flower - it weakens the plant. Take the whole flower stem out from the base and give the plant lots of water - a couple of buckets full today and more in a few days time. It's probably the prolonged dry spell that has put it under stress. I'd stop pulling stalks for this season unless it's very prolific.
Many thanks.
