flowers and walnut tree



my flowers have been over run with grass and the walnut tree is dropping its fruit. It leafed out this spring and got froze . I thought it wouldn't have walnuts this year but it does that shows how much I know.

The walnuts are full of omega 3 vitamins. Crack 3 and eat the meat each day for a season...you health will improve...just like eating fish.

Aunt Thelma loved them and this is probably why. She knew how good they were for you. The Hickory nuts have omega 3s too. Peanuts don't though.

I always love to see your pictures.we had a black walnut tree on our farm.it would have nuts every year only some times not as many.it depended on the weather.
the poor old thing fell down in the tornado we had a few years ago.it did some great damage.thank Go the house was still standing only just barely.
my half brother and some of his friends had to do a lot of work on it to ge i back to live able.

I love the Cosmos flowers - and walnuts are great - but not straight from the tree - best dried first
