| | | Acorns 2010
We have two enormous oaks in our back garden which if I had £40k to pay for the fine I might chop down. Okay I probably wouldn't but blimey the bloody leaves they drop each year is astounding.
Anyway this year there seems to be a record harvest of acorns, anybody else got the same problem? Also apart from pannage for pigs is there anything useful that can be done with them? Acorn curry, soup, burgers?

Not sure what can be done with them other than bag them up with the leaves and use them as a mulch in a couple of years.
We're having the best year for acorns for four years here. |

Rob S | I would also say the worst acorn crop I've seen - zilch.
I had a look for some in the large mature park near us, and there were no acorns whatsoever!

So RobS thought last year was bad.
This year is a nightmare. We seem to have more acorns and bigger acorns than ever.
The lady over the back says its the most that she has seen for twenty years.
Not only are they all over over the patio and all over the lawn they make you jump out of your skin when the smash against the conservatory roof.
And smash they do, there are now a number of holes in the top layer of perspex.
So a great mess all over the garden, disturbed kip after work, damaged conservatory roof and disturbed sleep for us and the neighbours and night (more disturbed if the little owl is in the tree). All this and the leaves to come |
