Birch sap tapping

[Sar-ian]

Well what a week, went out tuesday to one of my little haunts and tried tapping a few birch trees, with to be honest very little success. So on thursday went out for a little wander and low and behold found a birch tree dripping like a good 'un, so emptying a plastic bottle that a had with me, I set about collecting natures elixir. Returning a hour later, the 500ml bottle was about 3/4 full, hooo happy days.... So on returning home I found some empty pop bottles, washed and rinsed them, ready for a early start friday morning.........

The alarm aroused me early friday morning, I leapt from the comfort of bed, pulled back the curtains, and disaster of disasters, 4 inches of snow, and a near white out.....

Oh well always next year

Was out last weekend and tried loads of trees in various areas of the wood and nothing what so ever.
