Re: too late to plant Rhubarb?
I'd plant them out - you won't be eating any this year possibly, but should establish for next year

Re: too late to plant Rhubarb?
If they are in pots at the moment you can plant them any time you like, including mid-May.
Just so long as you keep them well watered for the summer months while they are making a strong root system, they should be fine. Giving them a thick mulch will help too.
