  1. There has been lots said about 2024 being a poor year for pumpkins and squash in the UK. It has also been notable for: squirrels ring barking sycamore trees, causing a lot of crown death; tiny walnuts; tiny chestnuts. Chestnuts are 25mm max; green walnuts 40mm. Unlikely to have formed a kernel. I have germinated walnuts three years of the last six and chestnuts last year. I doubt it will happen this year. #autumn #chestnuts #sheffield #walnut #juglansnigra #castanea

  2. I got some Asian food goodies from my friend's rural backyard. She grows all of these on her 1.5 acres property that backs onto a forested park.

    Japanese chestnuts - these were boil cooked.
    Taro & Ube (purple yam - these were steam cooked.

    I also picked up some taro cake - Swiss roll style - with coconut cream filling.

  3. New blog post introducing the New York Tree Crops Alliance (NYTCA), a nut growers #cooperative I work for and with: nytca.org/s/stories/introducin

    I share some details about who our farmers are, what we are doing, and why.

    TLDR version: #NYTCAisNuts about #TreeCrops like #Chestnuts and #Hazelnuts, and a whole lot more!
