I have several plants in an strip area between the west side of the house and the fence. In summer the sun shines from 11am to 3 pm, in winter little sun. On a windy day it area is draughty and cold and hot in summer. My questioned is Production and growth is poor even tho. The plants are fertilised and mulched as required. Should the plants be lifted up in the same area, I feel they could be a little low. 2 plants I have replanted into pots In a north facing area and are going well another plant is not. If you have any advice it would be appreciated. Thanks Paul

plenty of manure in the soil and water regularly. Also sprinkled rock minerals. Need to feed every six months and use a big pot.

I wish to replant my rhubarb in a garden bed where the soil will be much better. My question what time of the year can i replant them?

Over the weekend 18-20th April, I transplanted my rhubarb plant from the pot to a garden bed. Had a look this morning after wild woolley weather, it is pushing out new leaves, so I guess around this time would be a good time. Broke off most of the leaves and only left 3 and also broke a couple of main roots accidentally so to compensate for this, I gave it plenty of sheep, cow and Dynamic Lifter, plus a sprinkling of rock minerals.

While harvesting my rhubarb I accidently broke the crown off of the plant. Is that the end of my lovely plant?
