HI All
Do you think it would be a disaster to move rhubarb at this point in the year? I know ideally I should have done this in the winter but didn't think of it then so here i am!
I inherited several rhubarb plants on my lottie and they are smothered in weeds. Trying to pull out all the nettles/bindweed/brambles/couch grass from around them is proving very difficult as everything is weaving through the rhubarb. It did very poorly last year, probably because of all the competition, but now I have a lot more space cleared I thought they might do better in a weed-free (relatively anyway) area that's had a good manuring.
Any thoughts - will I kill it or should I just go for it and hope for the best? Although given that is currently snowing, it may not be moved anytime soon...
Thanks!
Julia
