Our new rhubarb plants have been growing well, BUT now some of the leaves are starting to yellow. What should we do to rectify this?. They are in soil with organic loam and horse manure mixture.

Mine do the same thing this time of the year. I've had them for about four years now and they start to look very sad when the cold weather comes. When it warms up (September) you will start to see some more positive activity. Don't forget they are very hungry plants, so plenty of fertilizer every couple of weeks in spring time will help.
