Got the snow machine working again so we got to the back to start tapping the trees. The whole gang came to help/watch.
Saturday (March 7) we got 6 up at the back – then the drill battery died.
Sunday (March 8) we got the final 4 up in the front.
The cold weather kept the buckets dry for the first week. But the sap is starting to flow now – slowly to start. We checked them again yesterday and we had a steady drip, drip, drip in 5 of the 6 buckets at the back!
Only 1 of the 4 in the front has any sap in the bucket. Looks like the front trees are taking longer to warm up.
We checked them today and gathered all the sap into one of our 5 gallon buckets. Looks like so far we have about 1 gallon of sap. Not much yet, but a good start!
