Thanks... we have black walnut trees that grow wild here but the last couple of years they haven't produced such a good crop. I agree with you on the taste, Worth. The first cake I ever baked from scratch was a Black Walnut cake my papa talked me through baking. My cousins refused to believe he didn't bake it until he told them I made it. He just talked me through it. Yes they are difficult to process starting with not getting the "dye" on your hands from gathering them, right down to cracking the nuts and getting the meat out of them. I need to do some research on this disease hoefarmer is talking about as well as what else I need to do to prepare the ground. We've already cleared all the pine trees that fell in the storm. I will check out Stark brothers.
