My neighbor's tree is shedding its walnuts, tiny little things compared to harvests in the past. Not sure if it is drought that is making it lose fruit (nuts) early. We had lots of rain this spring, but not much lately. On Jul 9, 2013, at 10:39 PM, Ségnat ingen Fháeláin wrote: I just pick them off walnut trees. I don't know if you can buy them. But yes, they are talking about green walnuts before they have ripened. They are really pretty easy to quarter up until a point and then if you can't easily slice them you know they are too far gone for this year. Mine are still able to be sliced up but it was a late growing season this year. -----Original Message----- From: Historical Recreation in the Kingdom of Calontir [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Stefan li Rous Sent: Tuesday, July 09, 2013 9:45 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: [CALONTIR] Nocino I'm not sure when walnuts are ripe, but I think in the fall, not during this time. So, to me this implies green walnuts. Also this recipe doesn't say whether the nuts are peeled or not. The "To check for the right consistency, prick the walnut with a pin or cut it through the middle with a knife." also implies that these are green walnuts. Ever tried to prick a ripe, hardened walnut shell??? Later
