Black walnuts


We have three or four relatively young black walnut trees on the property. We weren't entirely sure what they were until they started growing walnuts and Rich pointed them out to me. There were some bad storms a few days ago so we went out today to pick up any walnuts that might have fallen. I think the squirrels might have picked up a few because I didn't really see many on the ground.

This was what I was able to pick up today:

Cool! You'll get to see the place soon enough but in the meantime I'll try to keep posting pictures.

I just found out that black walnut leaves and sticks cannot be added to a compost pile. Something about a compound in them that inhibits composting. I'm sure a compost pile is on your list of plans somewhere, but just make a note to keep black walnut stuff out of it!!!
