Hehe thanks Paul :-) All my trees are sugars and most of them are pretty **** big sugars. I'm a bad person, still on 7/16ths - I did try the 5/16ths but all they did was fall out of the trees. And very happy with my syrup colours and the ratio, I figured it had to be about 30:1... think some were around 28:1 and 29:1.
Think I will pull spiles today except on the 2-3 trees that are absolute diehards. I'm just done, in all senses of the word, and have to get on with my life.
