Wordless Wednesday - feel the forcing

  1. I would love one of those posh rhubarb forcers, but have you seen the price of them? I'm rather partial to those lovely cloches in the background too.

  3. Oh how I would love forcers like that - so gorgeous but so expensive, oh and the glass house style cloches - heavenly. We're having rhurbarb tart tonight - yipppeeeee!
    And yes indeed, I feel the force is strong with you, ahahaha

  5. Ah ha - but what if I tell you all that they weren't rhubarb forcers? Or at least they weren't being used to force rhubarb? They did have rhubarb forcers - they seemed a bit taller. I agree though - they are very desirable, as are the lovely glass cloches.

    You're right, Anna - the photo was taken in the walled veg garden at Tatton.

  7. Lisa and Robb - yes, they had sea kale being forced under them!
