Dug around Rhubarb down the Allotment

Today I went down the Allotments for about 2 1/2 hours and I dug around the Rhubarb on Allotment 1. While doing this I managed to break some of the roots some am hoping that this will not affect them too badly. However I did find another Rhubarb plant which I haven't seen in a couple of years so I am hoping now there is air around this it will help it to fruit better this year. Next time I am on the Allotment I will dig around my fruit trees and I have been thinking of doing this by hand fork and trowel to avoid disturbing the roots too much. This will hopefully be done tomorrow if the weather stays as predicted. After doing this I will then put in all my raspberries in the right places before manuring round them, the loganberries, rhubarb and other fruit bushes. Last night there was a slight frost. The weather today was feeling quite warm and it was quite sunny, with some cloudy periods. Also the wind has dropped so it made it feel warmer today. Overnight tonight another frost is expected before a milder day tomorrow with sunny spells.
