This was going to be the year I bought a fat tire and got into winter biking through snow, but I procrastinated. It would have been a bust anyway.

It’s going to cool back down. It was 50° here a couple hours ago, but now it’s near 40. Tomorrow’s high will hit 38° and it’s going to stay in the neighborhood of upper 30s/low 40s for a week or more.

Trying to decide when to spray the high strength roundup down to kill the redbud seedlings.

Down to next to nothing today but if it's supposed to be near to low 40's I should be okay. I'd like to get enough sap for a gallon of syrup this year which is typically 30-35 gallons from my trees.

That's what one of the trees was doing yesterday, sap running out of a knot in the tree and how I got my start several years ago when I noticed sap dripping from one of the same trees. I've got three huge sugar maples that are around 140+ years old.

Yeah, we need colder temps or fruit trees and everything else are going to get screwed up.
Also, not slamming you specifically but I can’t believe anyone still uses Roundup after all we know about it. Have you tried extra strength vinegar?

I don't worry about the kill everything version of Roundup. Ortho makes something similar called Groundclear.

The vinegar/Epsom salt create an acidic death cocktail for weeds, the dish soap helps it adhere to the leaves/foliage so it doesn't just go straight to the ground.
The weed/foliage in question will be brown in an hour or so.

Same here only mostly mid michigan winters. I can never remember a winter with next to zero snow. Or a February day with a high near 70 like predicted today. It's almost like the climate is changing or something.

Radar shows a line of precipitation over by Minneapolis heading this way. It doesn't look like the killer hours long 2" hail storm they've been pushing though. But what do I know, I don't even know where the nearest Holiday Inn Express is.
