We had one final cold snap that pulled the sap out of the trees! Daddy & the boys tapped about 5 trees this year so hopefully we'll get a couple of pints.
Last Fall, the kids & I scouted out about 20 maples on our property and tagged them for tapping. All of the trees weren't sugar maples...... but I'll just throw in some extra sugar and fix that :-) We put 2 taps in each tree but only about 3 were producing when we checked the bags. We really got lucky with that final cold snap or we'd have NO sap haha!
Tomorrow, we'll fire up the outdoor gas burner and boil it all down..... mmmmm, I can taste it already :-) Next year, we'll get a jump on the season and get them all tapped!
