Secret Walnuts

Guy Radford October 21st, 2010

I got told of a secret walnut tree…. it is not very big, but heavily laden…

My first visit yielded only about 12 walnuts, I knew it was probably a bit late, so went away happy that I had a few to try at Christmas.

I decided to go back on the off chance of getting a handful more. I was amazed, I filled about a third of a carrier bag.

I may go back and maybe get a few more….

From what I understand walnuts are not ready to eat yet.  They need to be left in a cool dry placed to ripen or mature. Come Christmas they should be ready.

A hedge row of large rose hips

Just found a large amount of large rose hips. I think they are the Japonese Rose.

There are plenty for rose hip jelly or jam.
