Four rhubarb plants were divided, since the stalks were getting to small. This bed has been in situ for about six years and they were crowded, and the harvested stalks were to small.

The existing bed was rototilled, compost added, and divided roots planted, then watered with downspout rainwater. After the next heavy rain compost will be added to retain moisture. Two divided plants were place in another area of the garden along the fence. There is another isolated plant purchased last year in another area. The total plants in the garden area is six.
