Unfortunately, when the garden was started, not much land was cleared and so the garden area was small and included everything together. Now there are separate soft fruit and tree orchards as well as an expanded vegetable garden – with more to come. Consequently there were some plantings that need to move to their proper location.
First among them is the rhubarb. 
While it’s best to leave rhubarb to its own for many years, the first beds were 7-8 years old and the decision was made to begin to move to a better home in the soft fruit orchard. This year half of the old bed consisting of Victoria Rhubarb were divided and moved. Next season the Canada Reds will be equally divided and moved. By doing only a portion each year there will still be a harvest to be had.
