Sweet Chestnuts

[colinaj]

Sweet Chestnuts are very abundant this year and seem, so far an touched by Grey Squirrels.
they are favouring Acorns this year and were seen burying them in the recently cultivated flower beds of Bell vue Park in Lowestoft. So far this year I have collected two potato sacks full, well enough for those cold winter nights.

Conkers, sloes, Blackberries, in fact all fruits are abundant this year, however, Dog rose, Hawthorn and Bramble are all having secondary flowers here in Lothingland. (Lowestoft area Suffolk)

I've been on the lookout for Sweet chestnut this autumn, i'd like to plant a few seeds to go along with the Hazel, Beech, Oak and Giant Redwood(don't hold out much hope with this) i've planted so far. They seem very scarce further oop norf

Tons of Acorns about earlier today where i went, and the local Jay population seemed very happy about this
