Good luck with yours!
Yes but I am wondering if it would be possible to ex-plant and store a plant (in a greenhouse or just bare-root) immediately before the flag leaf comes. I know it is possible to recognize when the flag leaf is ready to appear, though you need experience.

Also, I have always asked myself if it would possible to store a plant after the appearance of the flag leaf, but before the flower.

If such techniques are possible, one could simply replant in March/April and get a good bunch in the summer.
