rhubbarb and rain (lack of it!)

Just discovered a friend of mine loves rhubarb. Most years this would mean I could give a bundle most weeks. This year I have had one meal from my 2 established plants. The rhubarb shaded by the loganberries has hardly anything, and the other one not much.

I met someone on my cycle ride this morning and we got talking about the lack of rain. He has a 20 foot by 20 foot courtyard garden but it only gets 2 hours sunshine in the early afternoon. He does have a vegetable garden on top of a large metal storage place at the front, but he has to climb up to water it!
