Anyone tapping trees yet?

wow

this is just weird

Yea - I'm not that desperate yet.

Although, There is this cute Blonde Knotty Pine down the road that I've had my eye on. She's one sturdy gal with an enormous trunk and as dumb as a board. I don't think I'd get past her boyfriend though. He's built like an Oak.

And besides...Splinters Hurt.

Just finished off 2.5 L of syrup this evening.

We are now close to 30 gallons of syrup. Last year we made 70 gallons.

Tapped Today x3

Darn, wish I would have seen this thread a week ago!! It would have clued me in sooner, to "tapping time".

Tried one tree for the first time last spring. Was a bit late in the season for it, but hey it was my first time and I made about a quart of syrup.

SOoooo, tapped THREE today! After 1 hour, had 1.5" in each bag.
Multiple quarts here we come...
