update Picked up black walnuts from one of our black walnut trees. This is just 1 tree's worth.





I dumped these in a place that J thought was bad, so he went out and moved them again...that will teach him to be inside playing video games. I picked the old rotting apples up too, and dumped them in the same area. Hope he doesn't get stung by the bees that were all over them.

Now, what exactly should one do with this many black walnuts? I remember my dad making some sort of stain for wood with them, but really? This is one tree's worth, and there's more than one tree around here. I'm told you can make an insecticide too. Can you eat them? Can you put them somewhere where they'll rot and not take root?



The plants are inside and now Lulu's got a jungle to sleep in again.



A full full freezer. We picked up our CSA meat delivery on the same day that Adam decided to load up on frozen convenience food. If J kills a deer, we might need to get another freezer.



See this crabapple tree? I've picked crabapples and I'm making juice for crabapple jelly. With no cat though.  ¶ 12:05 PM
