Could be the last boil of the year? Haven't collected today's run yet... #maplesyrup
First boiling sap for 2026. #canada #ottawa #maplesyrup
Maple syrup season in N.S. off to good start, despite concerns about last year's drought
Some maple producers had been worried that the dry conditions last year would affect sap runs this year, but it's business as usual so far, producers say.

Made it past 49 gallons of #maplesyrup bottled yesterday. Not done yet. Boiling again tonight. Sugar maples haven't gotten buddy, but they have to be close.

The maple trees are coming to life! Springtime in the northeast means it’s sugaring season! Here’s a little tune I created to honor the tradition.

Tapping trees today. About 3 weeks later than I like to start, but I haven't missed out on much and the forecast looks great for the week. #ottawa #maplesyrup

Well, silver maples seem to be done. Test boil didn't taste the best. Pulled those taps, flushed lines as I pulled and there's a few norways and a sugar left on them (10 total), and the 96 other sugars should keep going for a while. Too bad, they were really pouring today.

It’s time to tap the trees at Rideau Hall and start collecting sap
Adam Miller, a grounds technician at Rideau Hall for the National Capital Commission, explains how to tap trees and where the maple syrup ends up.

Ok.
I have over 90 gallons of frozen sap I need to process into #MapleSyrup. Hoping that the delay in processing didn't screw it up.... We had some warm days before the freeze happened.
