I've always wanted to plant sugar maples, and that was one of my regrets, that I never got around to doing that, and now - well...let's just say I wouldn't be eating any syrup out of a tree I'd plant now..I really want to do this next year with my silver maples and see what come of it.

I was born and mostly raised in Manitoba where there are many maple tree's but we never did this even though we had many maple tree's in my grandparents and great grandparents yards. Such a shame we missed out on this! I bet that syrup tastes WONDERFUL. I agree with Misha...you really are a country girl for sure!

She went home for "syrup season", because they literally had thousands of trees for syrup production! When she came back and showd me pics, I was amazed. This was her parents business, and livlihood. They had a huge staff. It always reminded me of the movie "A Walk in the Clouds."<br />Trade grapes for syrup!<br />You guys did a fantastic job! But, being a clean freak, myself...I can only imagine the sticky clean-up :(<br />You really have become a country girl, Andrea!<br />xo, misha~from my front porch in the mountains~https://www.blogger.com/profile/18103990196491433325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5333207684889687005.post-87133472901407852752010-04-23T12:17:35.169-04:002010-04-23T12:17:35.169-04:00Home made syrup sounds wonderful.
