Tapped in today with about 60 trees. Sap was running fairly well, had 1.5" in bottom of the first bucket by the time we finished. Weather sure is screwy this year! I'm concerned about tapping...

Yes, but starting on 21st they're showing swings from plus daytime highs to nighttime lows so I suspect (hope!) the sap will start running!

Yes, plan to put in taps on Feb 20, hope I'm not jumping the gun!

We were very similar, got total of 54l off our 84 buckets. We normally average about 1.2l/ bucket!

Should not cause any issues as it was only warm for a short period. Problem with prolonged warm stretches is they promote bacterial growth and tree healing so the tap holes can start to seal off and...

Yes, it has not been great. We have about 1100 L so far using 84 buckets. That's since Feb 24. Looking good for next week, hope the forecast holds!!

Well we've decided to tap in next Monday which is about average for us. Of course all the snow we've had this week is going to make our manual collection MUCH more difficult! On plus side, the long...

Pulled our taps today after collecting about 15 gal from the 62 taps. Almost identical amount of sap to last year (~3200l from the 62 taps). A little more syrop, probably due to more consistent sugar...

No sap running on Sunday, very little yesterday (~22L from 62 taps!) when it was supposed to be warm! Today was another story 295l collected from the 62 taps. Not calling for freezing temps tonight...

Little flow today, just too cold! With the freezing temps tonight and forecast warm tomorrow I'm hoping for a good run tomorrow. But then it gets warm so might get a little on Tuesday but then I...

It's been a strange season, getting lots of flow on days there should be none and vice versa. Maybe being so close to the lake affects the climate enough?

We're inside Bronte Creek Provincial Park at Spruce Lane Farm which is about 0.5km North of QEW and 0.5km West of the creek. Last day of maple festival tomorrow so will be there all day and then...

Sap was running today, collected about 35gal from 62 taps which seems to be about the norm this year! Poured rain all day so some of that was rain water. Tested at about 2.8% sugar and heretofore...

Went in yesterday to finish off what was in the finishing pan and then clean it so I'd be ready to start final boils for the season as it looks like it's going to get warm by Tuesday and stay warm!...

Today went fairly well, made about 14l of syrop, collected about 200l of sap from 62 taps. Only downer was after my last draw off I was trying to decide if I should shut down for the night or keep on...

Dont get too excited! We just collected about 40gal from our 62 trees so ok but nothing to write home about! Tomorrow is looking to be very good.

Boiled today and made about 10l but sap is not running, very little over past three days. Will use up the rest of our stored sap tomorrow but does not look like we will get sap tomorrow either! Not...

Finally got to about 115gal off our 62 taps so started the process up yesterday. Today was able to draw off about 3.5l of syrop. Weather not living up to forecast so still low sap flow. Will likely...

Well appears I was a little overly optimistic! Sap ran today but was not great, collected maybe 30 gal. On the positive side it's supposed to be warmer tomorrow and I should get up over the 100gal...

We put 62 taps in at Bronte Creek on Friday. Som sap but not a lot on Saturday, collected about 1/2 gal per tap on Sunday. Expecting lots this afternoon!

We collected about 30g yesterday at 2pm from 46 taps and another 15g this morning. From the looks of the few buckets I checked late afternoon I expect another 30 tomorrow morning.

However, looks...
