Maple Syrup...or Sap

It's sugering time here at Growing Boys Farm! Yep we're making maple syrup...hopefully. Our interest was peeked last year as we helped friends boil down their sap one coooold spring day. Since our place is surrounded by maple trees we figured why not give it a try? We read several web sites, several books, and talked to others who have done it. After compiling the information, we headed to the local hardware store to purchace supplies, because you know it would be just too easy for us to order the kit. In true Growing Boys fashion we had to DIY engineer our own system to save money. Long story short the fellas tapped the trees and the sap is flowing. Hopefully there will be picture of hot waffles with maple syrup in the near future.
