Come on trees!
Hey, no need to go so hard on yourself...buddy may have bigger trees with longer taproots, more access to sun, better location etc etc...I know it can be frustrating but if it's in any solace, I got no sap from last Friday on to Tuesday...then this evening I brought in almost 2 Imperial gallons so I'm happy, happy enough to toss it in the hotel pan and fire up the woodstove!
Been tapping since 2008.
