'Are black walnuts really as bad as you make them out to be?' FWR wants to know. So I've made a video.
You can't go out there right now. It rained last night. This morning is sunny and windy, and the backyard requires, not masks, but hard hats.
Squirrels are feuding over the territory like rival street gangs. The less powerful - meaning, the grey squirrels, which are no match for the fiercer (though smaller) red squirrels, are seen to furtively dash in and out with walnut prizes.
We cheer them on: we want those things gone. You trip over them, step on them and lose your balance. They rot, okay, that's good for the mulch. But if the squirrels don't take them, some will grow into walnut saplings.
Those trees are trying to grow a forest in Hooverville, and we need to stop them. Fred: only YOU can prevent walnut groves! Get to work!
Seymour the groundhog is immune to walnut fever, but a local crow is intrigued...
