I've dug out some rhubarb which was not in a very convenient
position, cut
the roots in half, put them in the freezer for a couple of days, now
have a
better position to replant them.

Why did you put them in the freezer ?

Many years ago an aged experienced gardener said that you should
dig up rhubarb each year and let the frost get at it, this apparently helps
to make it produce more the following year, as decent frosts are
becoming rare, I thought I would imitate a frost by freezing the roots.

How do I tell which is up?
A couple of the roots have nothing to indicate which side they are
going to
grow from. Does it matter if they get put in upside down?

When in doubt plant 'sideways'. It will then right itself :~)

Sounds like a good idea, I planted them today so I have my fingers
crossed!(:-)
