Walnuts


The walnuts are forming on the trees in the grove. Nutty, delicious, and filled with great nutrition --- they are one of Grandpa's specialities. He spends the early months of winter in his garage, shelling and packaging walnuts that he enjoys sharing with friends and family. Store-bought will never taste good again after eating Grandpa's home grown walnuts!

  1. We moved to the house we live in now in January. We have a huge black walnut tree out back that we plan to harvest. I hope they taste great, too.

    My husband has a Master's degree in Forestry, a speciality in black walnut. However, he works with wood in furniture and I had to look up online when to harvest walnuts. :)

  2. Yum, love that canned apple pie filling!

    Grandpa's grove of walnut trees started about 10 years ago when he planted a few small trees. He now has about 20 trees and they are his special 'project'. Everyone benefits: the girls at the bank, friends at church, his family, and neighbors. Everyone loves to see him coming, especially during walnut season!
