    55 gallons from 175 buckets, pulled most as the weather is not looking good and many trees budding

    300 gallons yesterday. 200 from 126 taps on 3/16, 100 from 90 taps on buckets! Feels like the season just started this past weekend and will be over this weekend.

    The 6 trees in my yard here in Blue Hill get full sun and I think they may be about done, but the ones in the woods are just getting started! I tapped the yard trees on Feb. 22 and I've made about 4 gallons of syrup from them. I only tapped a few trees in the woods since this is my first year here in Maine and I'm just a hobbiest. If I end up with 5 gallons of syrup I'll be thrilled!

    Curious how many gallons you picked up. I am a bit north and east of Bangor. Picked up 36 gallons off 80 taps. 3 Brix. Wondering when people think the season will be over up here.
