Rhubarb moving day. It went considerably more smoothly than expected. We had our friend to help because we thought it was going to be very hard work. We did definitely need him because it was a little on the heavy side. We didn’t even need to dig it out.
Getting it off the trailer and into its final position
A hammered some rebar into the ground and attached wind break. Than gave it a good covering with mulch.
Now fingers crossed he’ll be ok. A much more exposed area until I get polytunnels and other raised beds in place.
It’s very lucky we didn’t need to dig him out and split him today. I ask the boss man at the local estate ages ago if he had any other old tractor tyres. This morning I messaged to double check it was still ok to have one and if we could collect today. And if it would be possible to relieve him of some of the content of the farm manure heap at the same time.
He’s still not got back to me yet.
I’m very happy to have rhubarb in my veg garden again.

Builder that would like to go play in the garden.
