Walnut Collecting





This weekend we collected walnuts with friends. We went to Walnut Grove Park and collected the many walnuts that had fallen from the great abundance of walnut trees. The second step after collecting them is to crush the green flesh on the outside, which is done by stepping and rolling them around with your foot. Inside is the green husk, there is a lot of yellow oil that stains your hands so we had rubber gloves on. The next step is to rinse them off and let them set for two weeks. More news later!
