A lot of Gardeners dont force as they say the taste is not as good.

I love forced rhubarb and think the taste is far sweeter than than unforced which tends to be very sour.
..I like forced rhubarb too. It arrives at a time when there is little else availible in the way of 'fresh' fruit and it's always very expensive in the shops (and I had about 40lb of damsons in the freezer many of which I have eaten , it will be nice to have a change
).
