Good luck with your planting! It will be interesting to see your results. I have English walnuts that come up around in my yard because squirrels plant them, whole, in the shell. The nuts sit out in the compost or under leaves all winter and then I find the sprouts in the spring. The same works for hazelnuts, too. My dad plants black walnuts by letting his walnuts sit in the shell, in a pile of compost, too. But it takes a couple years for the moisture and hormones to get them to sprout. They have some chestnuts, too - that they keep cut back into a bush, and they harvest plenty every year. Nuts are worth growing! :D

This is like the #foraging that was in @papa-pepper's post about finding wild asparagus seed. When you were harvesting these nuts, did you see yourself as a gardener or as a forager? If you want to use the #foraging tag, I'd be happy to recommend this for SteemTrail curation.
