So it begins again. We made a trip to pick up supplies this past Tues, March 1. Needed bottles and other basic supplies. We are also looking to replace our collecting tank. We have a metal 200 gal tank since some time in the 1950’s. Its time to replace it. Looked at some plastic tanks that are easier to maintain. Buckets and spouts have been washed and are ready. We plan to tap this weekend. The weather is still cold, but it will break soon and we want to be ready to get the sap.
