I wish to replant my rhubarb in a garden bed where the soil will be much better. My question what time of the year can i replant them?

Over the weekend 18-20th April, I transplanted my rhubarb plant from the pot to a garden bed. Had a look this morning after wild woolley weather, it is pushing out new leaves, so I guess around this time would be a good time. Broke off most of the leaves and only left 3 and also broke a couple of main roots accidentally so to compensate for this, I gave it plenty of sheep, cow and Dynamic Lifter, plus a sprinkling of rock minerals.
