Guessing you use buckets for tapping? We usually tap in January here in Maine if you’re on lines. I had my bush taped 2nd week of Jan, but just finished up another bush I manage for a guy this week. We still use buckets for birch season though which isn’t till April. We had two days of good sap weather earlier this week and then she made an about face and its back to winter again. Guess I’ll wait.
Yes we use buckets. This is the latest I’ve ever tapped; winter hung on a bit longer this year. And it’s the first year we are using the oxen to haul the sap out, so I’ve put out fewer taps; more are going out tomorrow though.
