We have crows that come around here some.<BR/><BR/>I too remember that bitter taste of the Black Walnuts Jayne. My mother would bake with black walunts every christmas. It was my Dad's job to take me to collect nuts from the forest. Big job for little girl. It was always a fight to pick the meats from the nuts.Lisa at Greenbowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07743973292900758183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1376606540097525538.post-52942700422604527332007-12-18T06:40:00.000-05:002007-12-18T06:40:00.000-05:00My grandparents had a huge black walnut tree besid...My grandparents had a huge black walnut tree beside their house when I was a kid.

It took several years before they began to bear nuts and we were so excited that first year and couldn't wait to harvest the nuts.

I too am wondering what else to plant to feed the birds. <BR/><BR/>My parents have several oak trees, and once those acorns take root they are the dickens to pull up.
