Sugaring season 2015 round up

Spring came late this year.

  • We hung buckets March 29th
  • first week of April, we gathered approximately 40 gallons,
  • first boil made 1.5 gallons on 4/4.  Very dark.
  • the week of April 6th, we gathered 90 gallons.
  • second boil  4/11 made 1.5 gallons-- Dark Amber.
  • Third boil 4/12 made 1.75 gallons-- Dark Amber.
  • We cleaned up buckets on 4/14, and collected approximately 30 gallons.  That made another .5 gallon.

So, for the 2.5 weeks of "our" season, we made just over 5 gallons!  not too bad.
