Forcing Rhubarb

Did you know that you can force rhubarb?  If you forgot to freeze the stems this summer for later use and your rhubarb can use some dividing; now is an excellent time to prepare to be the first in your neighborhood to have fresh rhubarb next spring.  
According to Rhubarb-Central.com "the cultivation methods for forcing rhubarb was developed in the early 1800's. Commercial growers of rhubarb use special forcing sheds, or hot houses, but the home gardener can successfully force rhubarb in a home cellar, a garage, or another outbuilding.  Forcing rhubarb can also be done outdoors, in the garden."  

The process is a bit involved and I recommend that you do some research before proceeding.
