Fall after it dies back and goes dormant.

Dave

My garden development has been a bit like a game of Tetris. Many plants have come into my possession before my beds were really ready for them, and the rhubarb is no exception. I really want to plant asparagus where the rhubarb is now, since it's up against the fence where tall things should go...of course, I already have some asparagus plants, and I guess they'll need to go *somewhere* this year, and get moved next year.

I hate gardening this way, really, but I'm in the city, and I have limited space...plus part of my yard is on top of a shale bed, and I really need raised beds on that side of the yard. We do a bit of the construction each year, but it's a hard and slow process.

Fall is best. But my experience is that rhubarb is very hardy and you could move it at any time without a problem as long as you keep it moist in the summer. If you are careful ...it might not even die back
