I don’t like warm weather when it’s supposed to be cold.
Things wake up, start to poke out and then BAM cold comes back and they dead.
There are so many magnolia trees in my neighborhood that have not been the same since one of these moments a few years back.
That’s exactly what I said to Mrs Shadey a couple of hours ago, I hope things don’t start throwing out buds, we have had late frosts in June the last 3 or 4 years, in NS the rule is, don’t plant your garden until mid June to be safe.
I think my maple syrup season is pooched.
I was thinking of trying that myself now we have lots of old trees here, it’s usually good for sap gathering in NS.
Find a Birch to tap!
What is it…1/10 what maple trees provide?
I’ve never actually tried it…you?
Hello from the West Coast 
. Looking forward to meeting all the Canadians on OG.
Welcome aboard…lots of BC peeps on here.
Birch sap is delicious! It tastes like the freshest spring day right outta the tree. Flows like a tap too. Maple, depends on the species but sugar maple at my place give me about 1 litre per 5 gallon bucket of sap.
I just read it takes about 100-150 litres of birch sap to make 1 litre of syrup.
I’ve never made syrup from it but that’s nuts
Guess it’s why most people make maple syrup.
I got a small bottle of birch sap which I use VERY sparingly. It was made on a reservation over an open fire. They don’t sell it, it was given to me as a very special gift. 
must have some fire elemental in your blood lol
I’ve never tried the syrup but had to survive off a tapped Birch on a winter camping trip in Algonquin lol. Forgot our water filter and pot to boil snow(we planned an inland trip away from water, although poorly planned apparently). We hadahand drill and bit and had planned to boil maple syrup that trip. Used that to tap a Birch and collected a gallon per hour of the Birch to drink straight from the bucket.
@ShitSeeds can help you out with those if you’re looking.
