Hey Guys,,,and girls.
My season is done. Poured out any sap last couple days. Wrong colour and smell for me to boil. Going to start pulling all taps out tomorrow and then the giant wash up programme. Kinda sad the season was so short, but happy we had a season.
I hope all had a reasonable good season and next year can only be better.
Thank-you to all here at Maple Trader once again for so much good advice and also for sharing their stories.
I do want to learn more about mainlines and laterals for next year for sure.
I wish everyone a safe "off sap season" and all the best to all !!
