….if I can get somebody else to do it? I’m bringing my bucket of black walnuts with me to the festival. Along with gloves. And safety glasses. And a hammer. People love to try dorky stuff at festivals, and at the very least, I’ll get some entertainment and maybe some tips. And maybe I can get my whole bucket hulled! But that might be too much to expect. Anyway! If you will be at the Black Walnut Festival in Spencer, West Virginia tomorrow, come say to me!
I’ll be the one with over 80 pint jars of apple and pear stuff.
I’m all packed up.
I’ll also be doing some volunteer work for the extension service, handing out some free WV Department of Agriculture gardening and agricultural info/pamphlets, and keeping a signup sheet for the extension service of people who want to be notified when the next master gardener class is starting up. I will be near the Heritage community building–SATURDAY ONLY–until I sell out, so come early!

You could always have a drawing… for every walnut that gets “hulled” their name goes into a drawing for a jar of jam/butter.
I’d do it.

I worked on Black Walnuts for several days this week without gloves–Yeah, this stain isn’t coming off anytime soon and I see another bucket on the ground ready for me to hull. That’s okay, I’m going to enjoy them in baked goods after they cure and are cracked.
Have a great day and let us know how many Hullers you get and stay away from strange hippie kinda men! LOL

Now I know what that funny fruit is maybe there’s a black walnut nearby. Then I can share the fun sport of black walnut hulling–and washing and drying and then the funfun sport of cracking and picking black walnuts. If they weren’t so delicious folks would have let them stay there on the ground!
Enjoy the day before the strange weather from the west hits your area–storms, hail, flooding rain. Hope it gives out before it hits you guys.
