Tapping Quebec 2009
Well since the forecast says it's supposed to warm up starting tomorrow I started tapping trees. Far as I can tell they are as dry as a bone except for one dark tree out in the bush. Hope that this warm spell is enough to get them going as I am excited to see my first sap flow. I have no idea how you guys can tap so many trees in a day. Took me all afternoon to put in 19 taps. Course it would be easyier if I was useing real buckets instead of inventing as I go along.
maybe 50 taps for 2011
Finally ready to boil when I get enough sap
I just might be crazy.( make that I know I am)
Trees all tapped except the ones with 5 feet of snow.
Enough rabbits to keep Elmer busy..
