Thanks Forest, same to you too! I see you're already on your way this season! This one will definitely be better than last year's.

I don't know dscanuck. None of my taps are running yet. And another shot of winter coming tonight.
2013 -5 buckets. 37 litres of sap = 750 ml of syrup.
2014 - 21 buckets. 78 litres of sap = 1750 ml of syrup.
2015 - 24 buckets/13 taps plus 12 taps on lines into wine buckets.....150 litres of sap ~ 4700 ml of syrup so far.
Rob, I'm in St George and the trees are just starting to come to life. A few of the southern exposure trees are giving a little sap....not much yet.
It could be our names though ;-)

Rob

Just curious, mostly cause I lived in Hartland for about 6 months helping some friends start a business, so got to know the local area like Woodstock and of course *Freddickton* ...what's the tapping like around there? Good trees and climate?

2021 - 18 taps/8 trees...395l sap, 12 l syrup
2022 - 18 taps/8 trees....7 sugars 1 red due to #2 having surgery so had the season off....582l sap, 18.5l syrup

Rob I was very excited to see an additional 6" falling and the temp down to -16 all day. it was awesomethat breaks the 4 metre mark for snowfall since the 1st of December!
Galena....I have no idea as this is my first real year tapping and it hasn't been too good imo. ;-)

Hey Galena,
I tap in Fredericton, climate is great. I had a small run (1L total), but now it's cold until after the weekend then it should be good for the rest.
Good trees and good flow.

Put up a few more buckets tonight and low & behold, there were a few drips! Hopefully with the weather coming in the next few weeks, we get some sap. Going to tap another 10 or so tomorrow night. Heading to Cuba from April 10 - 17 so I need some sap!
How is everyone else making out?

Should be very good from tomorrow though next week in NB if the forecast is even close. Heading to the sugar bush in Cambridge Narrows tomorrow.
