Forcing Rhubarb

[selfraising]

I've never done this before, so I've put a bucket over my rhubarb. Is there anything else I have to do?

I don't know about forcing rhubarb but found this in the feeling fruity section.

Oh thanks Pickle, I'll take a look

Oh dear, I've just looked on the gardeners world website and according to that it is too late for forcing rhubarb. I've had a look under the bucket and it has certainly shot up. Have I ruined my rhubarb crop for this year? Should I take the bucket off?

Change the bucket for some thing deeper like a old dustbin you will get longer sticks....jacob

Thanks Jacob, I will do that. Is it okay to still force them even tho the website said to do it between November and February?

I would think it ok if you like nice long pink stick they are more tender and not so tough....jacob
