SuzukiSapper, had a big run Monday, and now catching up on that. I think it might be over. 0 tonight and AccuWeather says it will start freezing again by the 20th. I think that might be too long and too warm till then.

How long does it typically take a tree to start budding? My sap hasn't flowed in a few days now but it looks like it will drop below freezing next week. Just wondering how long I should hold out before packing it in. With what sap I have available to boil right now, I will be lucky to get 2 gallons of syrup out of my 64 taps.
2016 - 64 taps (47 gravity fed to buckets, 17 hanging on a tree)
2015 - 50 taps (35 gravity fed to buckets, 15 hanging on a tree)
2014 - 5 taps hanging on a tree
pair of showshoes and an inner tube and toboggan to haul it to the stove.
Boiling under a tarp again this year, hoping to build a shack in summer 2016. (Of course that was the plan for 2015 too)
My feelings as well. hopefully, my tendency toward procrastination will result in one more go round.

It over pulling the taps tonight last year we were just putting the taps in this week. Sure glad we tapped Jan 31 it was the best run of the season
Maple season is in full swing hear, froze up last night negative 3 and reached plus 6 this afternoon. 125 taps gave up 320 l sap today and with aprox same temp tonight and tomorrow, hope that Saturday colection just might be the best of the year. Finished off 34 l of syurp so far this season, and with these temps hope to keep the stove firing and make it to the 60 l mark.
2014 100 taps 65 l of syurp
2015 50 taps 20 l of syurp
2016 150 taps, 160 l of syurp made
2017 plan is 150 taps , and will see what happens
2018 200 tap , 25 on my first 3/16 gravity system, 250 of syrup
2019 250 taps , all on 3/16 with 12 volt diagram pump ( 300 l of syrup)
2020 same 250 taps , time to make a small ro unit
What a day, 3- 200 l drums and a sap pail , all in one day. My 2 x 4 pan only boils off 25-30 l an hour, today's run of sap will keep the steam flying for a couple of days.
