20 taps, and collected 4 gallons last night around 8 pm. one tree had half of that total. That was total since tapping last weekend. No freeze last night, Checked a couple and very little more this morning.
tonight supposed to go down just below freezing. Still don't understand how that helps, or if today's even warmer weather in the 50's helps or not. I suppose I need to check all of them tonight.
