We were planning on tapping them this spring but ... we actually FORGOT about it until it was too late. Oh well. Maybe we'll get a little come fall? We'll see!<br /><br />I appreciate your comment about 'blooming where you are planted'. I actually have a blog post in the works right now saying the same thing.
