Interesting about the sap.
In VT the sap has been running for a while. The guy across the street from us says his hasn’t started yet as it’s been too cold with the huge snowpack we have/had. It’s melting fast so maybe soon for him.
My garden is somewhat unburied. WHAT A MESS! I’ve got my work cut out for me this spring.
All y seedlings are doing well and the lettuce is actually starting to show some true leaves!!
YEA!!!
No more store lettuce.
We had NO snow cover - none - pretty much from January on! And then we’d have a week of 60 degrees, then back to cold...which is where we are again right now.
You need cold nights and warm days for a good sap flow. We didn’t get that at all. This is the first season Beau was ‘skunked’ on sap - to go along with my totally awful, wet growing season last year.
Frankly, I’m surprised we’ve managed to survive this far into 2026, LOL! We should have lost 50# each, and have Rickets from lack of citrus and sunshine! ;)
God Bless The Piggly Wiggly grocery store! :)
