Editor's Note: At 14 Allen has clearly entered the "know-it-all-already" phase that teens are forced to go through by nature. Heavy sigh.
I mentioned before that I have been inspired by all this tapping and boiling and sugaring and thought I would put it off another year. However, a starter kit is winging its way to me as I type. So I will let you know how we get on here at Home Farm. We only have two maples to try but why not?
