Thanks for this video. I'll glad you walked through the process slowly. Your video takes the fright factor out of transplanting my rhubarb which is currently next to the heavy storm cellar door so whenever i open the door, the door crushes my rhubarb.
After watching this video, i'm encouraged that i probably wont kill the plant by transplanting it, and i will probably even end up with pup plants to share with my neighbor.

Hope it goes well and you have bags of rhubarb for puddings! -Sean

What a relief. I was completely surprised to see my rhubarb plant roots and thought I probably killed it when I dug it up. But it's got a couple of buds which I replanted

Hope it gives you plenty more crumble! -Sean
