In our neck of the woods harvesting walnut is big business. There are companies that will cut the trees haul them off and pay you for it.
I just don't want anyone to say "What did you do with the walnut tree that was there?" and I say "Cut it up for firewood" and them to say "You FOOL! Don't you realize how badly people WANT that sort of wood .... ?"
but you wouldn't be able to retire to Wall Street with Frank on the proceeds.
5years ago, my dad sent me a black walnut that had sprouted on the farm in Arkansas. He put it in a ziplock baggie with a wet washrag and mailed it to me. I planted it in the back yard here in Seattle and it has grown into a nice evening shade tree.Last year, it had nuts (two) for the first time. The squirrels got them before I did. I have high hopes for this year.Bill
Do you have pickled walnuts in the US or is it just a UK delicacy

When we were kids in Arkansas, harvesting black walnuts in the fall was one of the ways we had to make money. We had several very large black walnut trees and they brought 0.07$ per pound. we would fill burlap bags with walnuts and take them to Pocahontas, about 20 miles away. Yes, Lannis, black walnuts are a lot of effort for what you get, but when you don't have much to begin with...the price is right.
In the early history of New Zealand the English would sail to the other side of the globe to get the flax.A few of the sailors became a source of protein for the locals ;D
I just wanted to jump in to mention that you all are here discussing sawing wood, weaving flax, and cannibalism on a guzzi board.Personally, I don't care and in fact am always game for a discussion about cannibalism. I just wanted to whine about content and, frankly, bust Lannis's (wal)nuts- so to speak. :+=copcarAre you folks coming up for the rally?? I can't wait! It will be fun to meet you. JKK
