It's about 400 square feet in size (I'm guessing we'll double that next year) and is home to a nice variety of vegetables. Most of them were grown from heirloom seeds that we began germinating in early April with mixed results. But most everything is roaring along now. We're currently feasting on roma, yellow, and many varieties of heirloom tomatoes along with gigantic heirloom cucumbers, Hungarian hot peppers, leeks, a ton of mixed greens, and some incredible heirloom carrots, a mix of orange, yellow, white, and scarlet nantes.</div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>Curently I'm battling giant 4 inch green caterpillars with horns on their butts that are ravaging our tomato plants but it's all been worth it.</div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>Good eatin'!

But they're big maples with a combined circumference of about 30 feet. This year I thought I'd try tapping them and try my hand at making some maple syrup. I had watched old timers make maple syrup when I was a little kid at our cottage in Baysville and I remembered the basics of the process. I also did some online research and got advice from some local guys who had boiled down their fair share of sap. From start to finish it was a pretty big process, a lot of work, a lot of fun and, once I tasted the end result, completely worth it.<br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-kG5u5aFjtKU/TYuSp-nzOiI/AAAAAAAAAt8/2UvKKIBDhAg/s1600/_1014357.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 304px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-kG5u5aFjtKU/TYuSp-nzOiI/AAAAAAAAAt8/2UvKKIBDhAg/s400/_1014357.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5587721012565457442" /></a>I couldn't resist designing up a quick label.<div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-wb48wZpskAs/TYuSplcZ3II/AAAAAAAAAt0/5rxeljCvI38/s1600/_1014270sml.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-wb48wZpskAs/TYuSplcZ3II/AAAAAAAAAt0/5rxeljCvI38/s400/_1014270sml.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5587721005806771330" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-QlWULLcN3H8/TYuSTWi2R4I/AAAAAAAAAts/-u3Kk4Pxya8/s1600/_1014308sml.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-QlWULLcN3H8/TYuSTWi2R4I/AAAAAAAAAts/-u3Kk4Pxya8/s400/_1014308sml.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5587720623850145666" /></a>I drilled 2 taps per tree.

I was collecting between 6 to 12 litres a day and the sap was really beginning to pile up around the farm. Sap in the fridge, sap in the freezer, sap stored in 6 gallon water jugs outside in the snow . . . . It takes 40 to 50 litres of sap to make just 1 litre of maple syrup so you can never really have enough tree plasma.</div><div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-EraWEIYUz28/TYuSTKLS5MI/AAAAAAAAAtc/yOFrbLo0kMk/s1600/_1014258sml.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 298px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-EraWEIYUz28/TYuSTKLS5MI/AAAAAAAAAtc/yOFrbLo0kMk/s400/_1014258sml.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5587720620530132162" /></a>I boiled the sap down over a 2 day period over a wood fire.
