The message
from "JennyC" contains these words:

I've dug out some rhubarb which was not in a very convenient
position, cut
the roots in half, put them in the freezer for a couple of days, now
have a
better position to replant them.

Why did you put them in the freezer ?

Stimulates early growth - probably fools them into believing that the
worst of the winter is over.

Oh, right, I'll get in there with it then :~)
