Black walnuts washed

[2busy]

Spent the afternoon power washing the husk off the walnuts I gathered up last week. It's a dirty job so I don my rain suit and rubber boots and rubber gloves. It takes one of the feed tubs full to fill a 5 gallon after washing. I'll get about a quarter of meat from the 5 gallon bucket.

Naturally the starter cord broke on the power washer on the first tank of gas. That slowed me down having to fix that for the rest of the walnuts.

I can quadruple the amount of walnuts you're showing under one tree and we have dozens.

Love them for shade trees, but this year has been a record for them dropping on the yard.
The squirrels are getting so fat they can't climb trees.

I left a slew of the small walnuts on the ground. Too small for me to fool with.

I had one in my yard and I cut it down years ago. It was leaning towards the house. It was a job picking up the nuts every year to keep from hitting them with the mower.

I took out a $400 Anderson Window a few years ago after hitting one of the hundreds with the mower.
Now I mow away from the house.

I started using a leaf blower to pile them up so I didn't have to bend over as much.

We do the same to keep them off the approach to the garage. It sounds like you're crunching the heads of a pet when running over them. Freeks the wife out.
