The temperature is rising, the snow is melting! Finally! We're using a trashcan lined with bags to store the sap we collect during the week and will plan on boiling on the weekend. The past couple of days have reached the 50's but for some reason the sap hasn't been flowing like it did last year at that temperature (we collected 50 gallons in one day). We're hoping it'll pick up but for now not too much sap to show for. We also have added 5 taps since we figure we have the means to boil a lot of sap and still some trees we hadn't tapped. Our tap total is now 24.
Total Sap Collected - 12 gallons
