    Anyone in central have tapping on their mind, lol?

    I know I do, but unsure as it’s hard to judge with this strange weather winter...

    Yes I too have tapping on my mind. I went for a hike through the bush on Saturday just to see how it looks. Keeping a close eye on the weather as well. For me the challenge is I have a trip to Europe booked from March 25-April 11 so I want to try and get as much done before that time. Last year i went to Italy for 2 weeks at the same time and I was able to get 1 run in before the trip as it stayed cold until almost the end of March and I was lucky to get 1 run in after I came back.

    I tapped yesterday. I do 50 on buckets. A couple of sun facing taps were leaking sap. Thinking I might get an early run this weekend!

    Well I managed to get 16 taps in on Saturday mid-day. I checked them yesterday at around 4pm and there was approx 15 liters combined. I went back this morning and there was just over 40 liters so I collected that and hauled it to the house. Hopefully things start running better today and fill up all the buckets by the time I get home tonight. Would like to get a decent amount for an early season boil on the weekend. Anyone else tap as yet?
