The project featured is.
You’ll want to find that perfect time of year when the temperature is sort of wavering back and forth around the freezing mark.Ideally, you want it to be a bit below freezing at night and in the morning, but get up a few degrees above freezing during the day.
Around here, we can usually find a week or so of ideal conditions around mid-to-late February.. One great trick is to follow a local maple syrup farm on social media and start tapping your trees when they post that they’ve started as well.They always know the exact right time and it always seems to come earlier than you expect it to.. To collect your sap, you’ll need.a maple syrup tapping kit.
, which you can easily order from Amazon for a few dollars.You’ll also need something to collect the sap.
You might picture old-fashioned galvanized buckets hanging from a nail in a tree, but we actually use large gallon water bottles for this purpose.
The water bottles protect the sap and keep any little bits of dust, dirt, and bark from falling into the sap, which is obviously ideal.. Start out by drilling a hole in the cap of your empty water bottle, making sure that the tube from your maple syrup tapping kit will fit into it.. Next, head out to your first tree and add a nail near the base to hang your bottle from.during the warmer months.
What better time of year to enjoy their rustic charm than when all the autumn colors come out?.I love how this galvanized watering can reminds me of the fall harvest season and another bright-orange pumpkin is always welcome in my autumn decor..
Basic Ceramic Pitcher.I’ve found that you don’t usually see plain white pitchers at the dollar store, which are the ones that I find most useful for fall or thanksgiving decor, but you can often find them in simple, classic shapes with some kind of a design on them.
