Ok I finally got some one up here to teach me the right way to prune trees. I read 1st prune is important. He said “Lyle fruit trees are supposed to be short and Fat, your plum trees 45’ tall “
Well had to go to cousins for SOS (sugar on snow) party in Hardwick, stopped by family camp 10 miles away.. I am not going 100 miles round trip without some wood in bed take a long time to get 6 cords this way Also got some syrup so it’s all good
It’s a family tradition; great grandparents had farm and fed 7 kids through depression her cook books all contain maple syrup instead of sugar exchanges (except frosting) during war ration periods. Those stamps could be traded. Cousin has excess 15,000 taps so he hosts
That’s really cool! And what a wonderful tradition. On of friend (who has since passed unfortunately) was really big into sugaring. He used maple syrup as a sugar substitute for a lot in their kitchen.
