So, now that winter has retreated again.

48 and drizzling right now.

Then back to the teens/20s for 2-3 days.

Then back to the 40's, maybe around 50 on Sunday.

I'm so confused. What must this be doing to the plants?

I don't even know when to tap my maple tree if this keeps up. Is it too early? Or is the sap already running?
