Noticed today that one crown has some poorly looking leaves.......Is it serious or ist it because it's not long been moved?Also something has made a hole in the rhubarb patch ......could that cause a problem?

I don't know but I'd trim all those leaves off and give it a whomp of manure and leave it alone for a bit.

I have had two rhubarb crowns rot off in the ground recently when they had been growing. No holes nearby but mystifying all the same.Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better...Albert Einstein

Did you have an overnight frost last week?
The young leaves are looking healthy enough, but if the crowns are newly planted they may be short of water.Whooops - now what are the dogs getting up to?Comment

Not sure about the Rhubarb, but could the hole have been dug by a stoat?

How do you know that is a stoat and not a weasel? Is it because a weasel is weasily identified and a stoat is stotally different?

i would give it a big load of manure,and as said trim off sickly leaves,the hole looks like a field mouse hole to me,i would use a handtrowel to break that up and pour a few gallons of water on to collapse any tunnels under the plants,it may be why the plant is sickly...Comment

A stoat can be easily told from the weasel by the simple fact that his tail is black and his figure is slightly the bigger.
