We had a very mild winter so far with the temperatures in the 20's at night and mid 30's to mid 40's during the day that makes the Maples think it's time to push the sap back up. Today it got past 40 so I tapped a tree to see what is going on and when I pulled the drill bit out and reached for a spike the sap was already flowing strong. I tapped three and put some buckets on and I will see what is in them in the morning. The sap is very sweet but I will just do three trees this year because I had a good year last year and still have a lot of syrup and sugar left from last season.
