 reluctant rhubarb I have put in two new rhubarb crowns, both with leaves. One is older (bigger and bushier) than t'other. I gave them both lots of rotted sheep poo and they are in the sun - but not all day. We haven't had any frost lately but both plants seem to have given up!  Both have leaves that are turning brown/orange and one leaf has fallen off. Can anyone shed any light on their predicament and how can I save them. I love rhubarb and would be very sad to lose them....... Tx      |

| dont know what the problem is but my third rhubarb plant lost all its leaves over the winter but then grew more come spring (20 degrees plus here today). I bought some rhubarb seeds the other day ...i know they will take an age to mature but thought it worth trying..... |

| You could try forcing them for a while. Cover them with a bucket or something like that to see if they come up, but check regulary, and watch out for slugs Debbie
