where's everyone? Have 25 of 30 running and hoping to boil Saturday.

Tapped 3 yard trees to test this morning and to my surprise 2 gave up sap by 2:00! Maybe all the snow did some good insulating over the winter. Still a good 16" or so out there. Will have to give my...

Looks like the season has come to an end according to the weatherman. Glad I caught those early runs in February or it would have been an extremely short season this year.

I have only done this for four years now and what you said is my plan. I went 9/32 for my 5/16 taps because it was early and figured I could go to 11/32 if I think things bind up. Not all that much...

Disappointing day. Was hoping for some good runs, but oh well. Boiled what I had and will finish everything tomorrow. Pulled all but a few in case I boiled too deep, which was the plan with my new...

Thanks for your response Mark. Appreciate the wisdom!

When the trees start budding can you taste the difference in the sap? Since I only have 20 tapped I can taste the sap of each. I pulled some of the reds with "antennas" already but left a couple in...

Decent run today but expected a little more. Have some reds with buds that look like they are ready to explode, no spider legs yet though. Crystal clear sap.

Just curious. Mike does a maple lager with the syrup that is awesome. They have a pic of the guys sugar shack hanging on the wall in the taproom, I just never asked for his name.

Nice little run after last nights freeze. Forecast seems to be getting cooler before the next freeze, hopefully it keeps the buds closed. Motowbrowne, are you the syrup supplier for Pitchfork? I...

Checked the 18 I put in yesterday and had something out of 4 of them at 1 pm. Saturday should be the real test with 40s in sight.

Tapped two on 2/19. One started running today so I went ahead and put in my other 18. Still seems early though.

Reds seem to be getting close to budding here but at the same time others don't have a bud in sight. Go figure. The end could be here with the predicted temps.

Dismal last two days. Hopefully this weekend is better!

Yep, same here. Those frosty nights work wonders!

Tapped 10 today in Hudson. Some moist drill holes but nothing dripping yet.
