Tapped in Weare

[Birdland Sugarbush]

Tapped this past Saturday and was waiting for things to start flowing. Collected this morning –*20-30 gallons from my 40 buckets.

Buckets on the south side of the tree were all full. On the north side they were 1/4 - 1/2 full. Will be interesting to see what happens in the next few days with the really warm weather.

I’m using the Sapmeister taps for the first time this year. They have a flared end so that the sap doesn’t run back to the tree (like the earlier versions did). However, one of my taps was inserted at an angle and the sap was running back to the tree. I was able to find something in the truck to fix it for the time being.19697

The long range forecast for next week looks good - but not much further beyond that, unless the weather changes. Should be good boiling weather too!

Fingers crossed!

Slowed significantly the last few days. Gives me more time to clean things up properly and be ready when things flow.

Seems like I’m always rushing to get things together so this is a nice change.
