Question from the 60th latitude (which is about 20 minutes' walk north of my house) : when you say that rhubarb season is ending, do you mean that you harvest rhubarb now? Because there's still a bit of snow on my rhubarb patch, even though we've had an appallingly warm and snow free winter! Or is the forced variety (which is a new one for me) grown in hothouses?
It isn’t ending yet, just that it will end soonish and yes, very much talking about forced rhubarb here as it has an earlier season than normal rhubarb (forced rhubarb is essentially grown indoors, yes).
