Early Sprouting Rhubarb

The rhubarb is starting to sprout. I saw small pink shoots emerging a few days ago and had thought about forcing it until I was listening to GQT (Gardener's Question Time) and heard that if you force it, you need to rest the crowns the following year and maybe even the second year as it takes a lot out of energy out of the plant.

It's been so mild that things are starting to sprout and even the rosemary has flowers on it.
