Trees are Tapped

While it may not be "gardening" it has become a yearly tradition to harvest our own maple sap!

This year three trees are tapped and each tree has three taps!

I do not have a fancy system where tubes run to a sugar sap but I was able to get my hands onto some four gallons, food grade, pails complete with covers that already had holes drilled in them. Very handy for being able to collect sap and not have all kinds of debris land in them!

Is important to check daily since I have had them fill up in a 24 hour time period!

Perhaps one of these days I will get invited over for pancakes or waffles. I will bring the syrup!
