Gardening/Allotmenting

Don't you have to leave them for the first year when re planted?

I didn't harvest anything after the move. Just cut it all down at the end of the season. It was huge at that point. I'd been worried about moving it especially as the weather was so dry but it seemed happy enough in it's new home.

A few more weeks before I can make rhubarb crumble by the look of it

Think ours will be properly ready next week although we could harvest some now.

The variety is Timperley Early which I think is the earliest to crop and we've also forced it ;we have three good clumps now so can rotate the forcing.

Wow that's early for sure , i have placed an empty plant plot over overs just to give it some protection

I keep reading how all the UK allotment holders are starting to work on their plots. I took a trip down to my plot yesterday, the first time in a moth. I wanted to make sure the weight of the snow had not broken any of the greenhouse.

Everything was fine and dry. There were
no footprints and so nobody has been down there for weeks.

It will be a while before I plant anything. The ground is rock solid.

How are you getting on with your plot?
