Black Walnut Harvest 2009

I went down yesterday to gather some walnuts. It was grey and cool out, around 50. It feels like fall now.

I had lots of help.

Bo, Arizona and Josie were fascinated by the basket.

Arizona is a little grubby, but she's cute. You can see all of the walnuts laying around on the ground. This tree is completely bare now. No nuts or leaves.

Josie is down right pushy. She's like Bahloo, has to be in the middle of everything. Unlike Bahloo, you can give Josie a shove and she moves.

Bo is back from his exile in the big horse pasture. He was gelded last week and seems to be doing okay.

The first bushel is going to John, my friend in Florida. He has never tried black walnuts and was asking about them after one of the previous posts. I'll husk them before shipping, otherwise I'd only get a few in the flat rate box.

Heidi's walnut trees still have hundreds on the ground and still in the tree.
