    Things have only really started within the past week. So far I have collected 384L of sap and made 4.2L of syrup - some light and some amber. I have a backlog of both sap and nearup. Had to fill my four propane tanks at Costco this afternoon.

    I tested the sap's sugar content for the first time today. My trees are averaging 2.75% and the ones I tap across the street are 3.3%. The weather is looking promising for a bumper crop of sap tomorrow and I will be boiling by mid afternoon.

    At the moment I have 16 taps here and 15 across the street. I intend to install a few more taps unless these 31 start to overwhelm me. If the long term weather forecast looks less than favourable I will drill more holes. This year I resisted the urge to tap early and am glad I did.

    How is everyone else doing in this area? My trees are pumping and the sap is from 2.75 - 4%. Five propane burners going so that I can make the most of my time outside today. This is what sugaring is all about. A perfect spring day. Did I mention I haven't even had breakfast yet?

    Had six inches of snow last night and got a call from my neighbour to say some of the jugs over there were overflowing. Looks like another very busy day. Have made just under 18L so far this season and am very pleased. Still haven't caught up boiling all of my sap in storage and now I am adding more.

    102L today. By 11:30 pm I had all of my sap boiled down to nearup. Had four propane burners running. It's freezing out there tonight. I don't think I will ever be warm again.

    What’s everyone’s plans with the upcoming weather? Trying to decide whether to pull taps or ride out the warm spell, looks like it might cool off again next week.

    Depends on you exact location. Can't hurt to ride it out and see what syrup you are making by the middle of next week.
