Good Start
Tapped my trees on tubing Tues/Wed.; a week earlier than last year. Dumped first 30-40 gallons or so to flush the lines. Was rewarded with a nice 275 gallon run on Thursday. First boil yesterday, mostly to sweeten the pan, but did get about 2 gallons of great tasting Golden. Will tap my bucket trees this weekend.
Good luck to all for a much improved 2022 season.
