If they didn't want them put up a sign to take for free.<br />I'm with Gill - the squirrels get ours off the tree before they are ready. Hubby gathered some last year and spread them in the lean to of the garage but apparently they got in there and got them. This year the squirrels really stripped the trees.

The little nut inside wouldn't crack, but the cover would come off. Remember how disappointing it was to spend all the time trying to crack the nut on the sidewalk only to have it be shriveled up inside?Linda Kayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17237332954767037400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-162042727452052782.post-55341021809773325102015-02-05T00:51:42.251-05:002015-02-05T00:51:42.251-05:00We have a bunch of them that fall around here.
