Anyone thinking about tapping.

It sounds like the weather might be getting close this week. Anyone thinking about drilling holes this week.

I was going to tap a few trees tomorrow. Next week the weather looks good.

We'll need overnight temps below freezing to recharge the trees after this flow. I pulled 135 /150 gallons (depending on which tank markings you trust) off of 100 taps, this morning. I'll collect again tomorrow morning then start boiling. Have fun, ted

Hey upmep, good to see you back. I think I'll be tapping this weekend. Ted

I put a couple of holes in my backyard tree today. It’s right at 40 degrees or so. They aren’t running yet. It’s got to be close. I hope everyone has a great year.

From the friends to the north. I'm up in the Minneapolis area and the dripping has been slow so far this week, although two weeks ago had had a nice run. Hoping it gets back to that pace soon. It appears like you're a day or two ahead of us. Enjoy!

First boil was Sunday the 23rd and since then have made 25 gallons of syrup off 135 taps. Have had a couple runs like i have never seen and the sugar content has been pretty consistent with 2%. Hope to make 10 more before it's over and that looks to be Sunday unless the forecast changes.

Tapped 30 trees today and all were running good. Was about 36 degrees and sunny.

I put in about 70 today and will finish tapping tomorow. A guy just called and said the 3 buckets he looked at were half full. Tomorow may be busy! Have fun! Ted

Made 3 gallons of syrup on sun and collected 60 gallons of sap today. Tested at 3% going to boil it down tomorrow.
