5g today. but only from my bigger trees. I started pulling taps on my smaller trees and the tap holes were dry as a desert.
Hoping to get 5 gal more by friday for a quick boil of only 20g.
the sap was still really sweet. but the buds were starting to swell. Some of my reds have popped small leaves.
it's over for sure.
clean up this weekend.
Overall, great first season. And thanks to Valleyman for a lot of wisdom. great asset to the forum.
I'm humbled Scott, thanks. I couldn't of helped it weren't for all the great folks on this sight.
Great year that's for sure.
12 taps for 2009.
30+ for 2010.
30+ for 2011.
2012- Still holding around 30+ with no help in sight.
2013-Still a loner but what a Fantastic yielding year
2014- Forever a loner
2017-Still here, after trying to kick the habit.
Down to 15-20 taps with the intent to save my marriage.
Sap Haulers- Kids NADA, I tried but I'm on my own.
Buckets and Sap Saks, 4 steam pans, Block Evaporator, and single burner propane for finishing.
