I’ll define gardening as growing things that produce stuff to eat.

I tapped one of my maple trees Wednesday to learn about when the sap flows.

Last night was about 30 and today is a sunny 45 degrees. The sap began to flow..... about a cup full. As the days get warmer it should be heavier. Then lots will be collected and boiled down to yummmmmmm syrup. Home made maple syrup is goood!

This is in East Tennessee, not the far north

I have a maple in my front yard.

Any good references on how to tap the tree without killing it?
