Just read yesterdays post. We gathered 900 gallons of sap yesterday. Froze last night and the trees are just starting drip now this morning. Depending on whose forecast you care to believe, we will get no frosts this coming week or possible frost Tuesday and Wednesday night. No frost will probably mean we gather Monday and that will be about it or if we get the frosts it will hold off the trees budding out for a few more days and we may be able to gather once or twice more. Time will tell. Last year we gathered our last on the 18th. So either way this coming week is going to be about the end of it. By contrast, two years ago our last gathering was March 30th.
