We have just moved in to our new home. Made a lovely vegie garden,put in good soil mixed with cow manure. Planted 5 Rhubarb plants brought from the garden place, They all appear to be dieing What have we done wrong? We have one plant what is about 3 years old and grows very well in the same garden?

I have noticed with my rhubarb is they tend to wilt easily and need constant supply of water when it is particularly hot. They appear to need more water when younger. I also have an older plant which seems more robust.
