You're more than welcome, Lesley, to whatever knowledge I've gleaned over the mere few years I've been doing this. And there is no such thing as a silly question; answering them helps keep me out of trouble til my trees get going again! :-)
ETA: I noticed that what I have left of last year's first batch has an even more pronounced marshmallow flavour, so much so that it almost overwhelms the maple now.
Been tapping since 2008.

2019 - 18 taps/8 trees...585l sap, 28l syrup...21:1 ratio
2020 - 18 taps/8 trees...890.04l sap...gave away about 170l, 30l snafu'd....23l total for me from approx 690l
