Hello
We have two enormous walnut trees in our garden. Last year (when we moved in) there were barely any walnuts. This year there are ooodlless - probably over a thousand.
Have been googling and researching a bit to try and work out what to do with them...all I have discovered is that
a) I have left it too late for pickling them (their shells have formed)
b) The green casing is currently impossible to get off and the walnuts inside (I think) are not ripe
c) The juice from the walnuts stains your hands brown
d) I would like to enjoy some of the walnuts before the squirrels spread even more of a walnut shell carpet over the orchard lawn.
So please any other walnut tree guardians/experts....please...
when are they pickable?
How will I know they are pickable
What (if anything) do I need to do once picked (eat instantly, store?)
Thank you!
