Another rainy day. See that upturned terracotta pot just in front of Bowler D's corrugated fence? Underneath is a rhubarb plant. We were unaware of the plant's existence until the other day. It must have been there for at least two years; our plot had been lying fallow for 18 months when we took it on. Anyway, we have decided to try our hand at forcing. This, as I understand it, is a form of garden torture as it deprives the plant of most of its light source, thus 'forcing' it to towards the tiniest of light rays, in the process producing early juicy sticks. The pot is not tall enough but it'll have to do for the moment.
