Father <a title="Christmas" href="http://gardenersvoice.com/category/christmas/">Christmas</a> ‘did’ know where to buy one. Hooray! I’ll be putting it to work very soon. Once my Rhubarb is showing a few more signs of life I will be placing the forcer on top to block out the light and encourage the shoots to grow tall and tender. </p> <p>I’ve never grown <a title="forced Rhubarb" href="http://gardenersvoice.com/category/forced-rhubarb/">forced Rhubarb</a> before so I’m looking forward to the reputedly sweet and delicate shoots that forcing produces. Its recommended to only try forcing with at least a three-year-old crown (which mine is) so hopefully the results will be good. </p> <p>I’ve consulted Percy Thrower on the matter. He suggested that while you might need the extra warm that a thick layer of straw would provide with something like <a title="Seakale" href="http://gardenersvoice.com/category/seakale/">Seakale</a>, you don’t need to bother with Rhubarb as it will grow on its own accord at this time of year anyway. So I’ll be sticking to just the forcing pot for now. </p> <p>Anyone else forced any Rhubarb? Any tips?</p> <p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/mytinyplot/~4/qcqKqH4MswQ" height="1" width="1"/></p> <div style="display: none">VN:F [1.6.3_896]</div><div class="ratingblock"><div class="ratingblock "><div class="ratingheader ">Rate this Article</div><div class="ratingstars "><div id="article_rater_22801" class="ratepost gdsr-soft gdsr-size-24"><div class="starsbar gdsr-size-24"><div class="gdouter gdheight"><div id="gdr_vote_a22801" style="width: 0px;" class="gdinner gdheight"></div><div id="gdr_stars_a22801" class="gdsr_rating_as"><a id="gdsrX22801X5X0XaXarticle_rater_22801Xarticle_loader_22801X10X24" title="5 / 5" class="s5" rel="nofollow"></a><a id="gdsrX22801X4X0XaXarticle_rater_22801Xarticle_loader_22801X10X24" title="4 / 5" class="s4" rel="nofollow"></a><a id="gdsrX22801X3X0XaXarticle_rater_22801Xarticle_loader_22801X10X24" title="3 / 5" class="s3" rel="nofollow"></a><a id="gdsrX22801X2X0XaXarticle_rater_22801Xarticle_loader_22801X10X24" title="2 / 5" class="s2" rel="nofollow"></a><a id="gdsrX22801X1X0XaXarticle_rater_22801Xarticle_loader_22801X10X24" title="1 / 5" class="s1" rel="nofollow"></a></div></div></div></div><div id="article_loader_22801" style="display: none; width: 120px; " class="ratingloader article"><div class="loader flower " style="height: 24px"><div class="loaderinner" style="padding-top: 2px">please wait...</div></div></div></div><div class="ratingtext "><div id="gdr_text_a22801">Rating: 0.0/<strong>5</strong> (0 votes cast)</div></div></div></div>
