NUTS

[zimmerstutzen]

Well the black walnuts are falling, the hickory nuts are falling and the chestnuts are going to be falling soon. I am told that I have a couple wild filbert trees but I have never found them. Of the hickories we have two or three different varieties and I do not even know which are the good and which are the bad. There is a stand of beech trees across the creek, but the turkeys always seem to get the beech nuts. The ground almost looks like it was rototilled after the turkeys get done. They are so darn small anyway, I can't figure out who would be hungry enough to try eating them. So what kind of nuts do you have?

Some people do have domestic Walnuts and Oaks here.

We have a couple of Chinese Chestnuts near the house. Mrs Coot collects & roasts the nuts. The spikey pods? are a mess that we have to pick up & toss into the woods. The nuts are good to eat but not worth the clean-up to me.

Acorns.
I have planted a whole row of hazelnuts though. And a couple of walnuts.
You can fill bushel baskets with the hazelnuts I get here.

I've lived in California and it is, quite frankly, the last place I'd ever want to live again. Too many people...

California does have some advantages such as ethnic foods of all types at pretty much any time of day, ethnic markets with fresh ingredients, fresh seafood and a variety of fresh fruits and vegetables.

My point was, I love pistachios enough to consider moving to California...That's a lot of love.... :haha:

It certainly would be. I'm a fan of pistachios myself, but I'd consider moving to California if I could eat myself into a Sushi coma each day....
