Not much happening here yet have planted some carrots, parsnips and purple onions. The Rhubarb is coming alive tho so will share that. Im also sharing a method i tried this year with great results for harvesting Birch sap, full of minerals very refreshing to drink a little bit earthy flavor and very much so smell, i really feel energized by drinking it.
I used a hose on a branch that made a good fit, secured with some plastic foil. This way you can tap very young birch trees, even smaller than mine you get about a glass a day. The good thing with this method is that it doesnt harm the trees as with the original method on bigger birch trees pretty much the same method as for tapping maple sap for syrup.
As you can see on the old stump the amount of junk in my yard is quite amazing in this part full of nails and other metall stuff. It came from three holes planting blackberrys and a raspberry.
