Day 29: 4/3/08 Two warm days...

Some of the taps are producing a lot...overflowing the milk jugs. I had to replace two half-gallon containers with gallons. Since some of the taps seem to have nearly dried up, I moved four of them to trees without taps. The sap poured out, literally. I'll have to empty them tonight. I have about 13 gallons now, hoping to get 20 by this weekend...probably will miss that mark by a little.

It looks like the south-western taps are doing really well. A couple of trees had taps on the eastern side because that faced a clearing. The cold mornings plus sun weren't that good compared to the trees with western or southern taps. I'll make this change for next year.
