Acorns

or lack thereof. Did anyone else have any this year? I haven't seen one.

 

[GWguy]

Nope, none. Ok by me, I hate picking those things up. Usually get 2 garbage cans full just from the driveway.

 

[bresamil]

Nope and I think it may be a hard winter. The squirrels knew to get them all.

Who the heck picks up acorns? Too much time with nothing else to do or just extremely anal retentive?

 

[vraiblonde]

I had a zillion of them. Apollo likes to eat them off the deck.

Ever try to drive a motorcycle over them? And make a successful turn?

They fell way early this year. I think. Most got sprouted or et up.

 

[Blister]

No, but I still think that picking them up and putting them in a trash can would not be the most efficient method of removing them.

Ive shoveled a couple 5 gallon buckets worth out of my yard. I pick them up because I have busted my ass on them on more than one occasion. My trees drop the really little ones that are smaller in diameter than a dime and for the most part completely round.

Not the turns that bothers me it's the surprise one or a few I step on when backing bike into garage. They now go into the yard. No more picking them up.

When I had more trees I would rake up about 5 wheel barrow loads, have less now.

It is when the trash cans are picked up by a fellow forumite who feeds them to the deer.

I will feed them, then when they get fat kill them. Son and I both plan to get crossbows.

 

[RoseRed]

Strange.

Used to get 10 wheel barrow loads out of the front yard. After the hurricane a few years back, had to get rid of the tree.

Not one. Dog is very disappointed by the lack of squirrels to chase around. Somebody told me insects (Cicadas?) ate the ends off the the branches. I did see a lot of tips on the ground this year.
