Mownin all.
As part of the landscaping plan for my plot I need to move a load of Rhubarb inherited from my precessor and was after a bit of advice really as I know this isnt the right time of year to do it really.
Basically there are about 15-20 'crowns' arranged in 3 or 4 clumps, many of which are really small but most have a central clam-like bud. All the leaves have died off now so only the frilly brown bits remain. I intend to keep 2 or 3 of the big ones and give the rest away but if I lift them now, will I be able to 'overwinter' them in large patio tubs (12"?) until I can rehome them/decide where mine are going or will they all die off?
Also, could I split them now as well or would the split and transplant be too much for them heading into into the colder months?
Finally, I plan to plant my two in the pumpkin bed (5f tx 11ft) with 4 or 5 Hundredweight pumpkin plants; any issues here please?
Would like some advice as I'd hate to waste them 'barbs.
Cheers, D
