    I'd be eating them  :D

    Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.

    You can plant them, but squirrels will dig them up and eat them in no time

    Squirrel also plants them for you. Doesn't always think to dig them up later so lots of seedlings.
    Quite a few of mine have dropped already but not ripe enough yet.
    Both I and the Squirrel usually get a good enough haul to satisfy both of us.

    Haven't seen a ripe one for years😒
    In London. Keen but lazy.

    Me neither.
    I had one for about 10 years and dug it up eventually.
    Plenty of nuts formed but I never got a single one :(

    I must be lucky then - I still have a bowl full of ripe nuts from last year.  As well as just munching or having with cereal , I also use them in home made chocs.  Wrapped in marzipan and coated in choc they are a treat.
    Sorry about that B3 and Pete  :D

    Your 'sympathy ' is noted.😐

    It was a bit mean wasn't it ? ;)  Blame the weather or the fact that I'm tired of making Mackerel Fish cakes.
