Today is my last day of maple sap collection for the season. weather broke and trees look ready to bud.. I turn buckets upside-down so small amounts of sap don't drop in and then sour/mold before I collect and clean them. I collected almost 7000 gallons of sap in buckets and bags this year. a bucket will fill in about 8 hours when sap is running. #grownostr #permaculture #circulareconomy #foodstr

Poor season for us compared to all years prior! Too warm generally this spring, means very low amounts of sap throughout the entire season. We have maybe another week max if weather stays cool enough before pulling our taps. Buds start to swell here, we are late season ๐Ÿค™
you all sugar maple, guys around me are a mix of sugars, reds, and silvers. reds and silvers bud soo early. I'm 698 sugar, 2 red.
