Switched to bags this year. Hopefully less cleanup at end of year. Homemade bag holders from PVC pipe.
10 trees tapped on Saturday. Not enough in the bags yet to collect. Worried about the coming even warmer spell. I've got as much snow as available piled around my storage buckets. I'll likely boil whatever I have in the middle of the week to avoid spoilage.
