It was a beautiful day to be in the woods today, the snow is pretty deep in a few spots but nothing to stop me from getting all 75 of my taps in. It’s a mix of sugars/reds over 50 acres, somewhere running pretty good straight out of the gate while others weren’t giving up a drop even in full southern exposure. Hopefully I will be sweetening my pan come Tuesday afternoon.

Finally got in the woods today to collect, a little disappointed that only 50 gallons out of 75 taps. Hydrometer said 2.75 for sugar and I think it was lying to me. Anyways,it’s enough to sweeten the new pan and run it wide open for a few hours.

Collected my first sap today (northeast of Bangor). Some taps—1 gallon. Others—zip. Slow going, but at least the sap has started to flow!

Same here, very slow start in southern Maine. Hopefully today kicks everything into gear
