Finally first boil of the season
Today finally had enough sap to get 2 out of the three outdoor evaporators going. Trying to boil down what I can before the rain after that I do not think I will get out there until early next week. Hopefully we will get something going before the buds come and the temps go the wrong way.
Once it actually started here. it hardly quit!
best of luck to you all out there
Trees are on a fast drip today. I'm hoping it can go for two ore weeks anyway, but there's only one way to find out. Boil while you can.
Rochdale, Central Mass.
Zero taps for 2016.
Still have plenty of syrup from last year.
6.72 kW solar array, and on our second Nissan Leaf all electric car.
Boiling today but unfortunately I think the end maybe be near , temps are expected to be above freezing later this week and today a couple of the big sugar maples on the edge of a field are starting to show signs of budding and not providing much sap yield. I likley will pull the taps later this week.
