 Hoping for better things from the rhubarb patch this year. Last year I lifted and divided some crowns and planted them out but they didn't really get going. Possibly they needed time to settle in or perhaps it was the drought. Also rhubarb prefers a rich soil so the bed has been improved with wood chip, leaf mulch and alpaca dung. Anyway they seem to be doing better this year.
 There's a theory that rhubarb and onions grow well together. I've planted onion sets all around the clumps, they're very cheap to purchase. One or other may do well, hopefully a bit of both.
