^5 for that link, explains so me thing I was curious about.
Hubby happend to mention to a co worker of ours that we had a huge crop of acorns one year. A few weeks later he showed up unannounced with green bags and a rake and offered to rake the lawn and remove the pesky acorns. Hallelujah, he wanted to save us the work as he said he collects them to feed the squirrels.
I now call bull on this, he was born on an Indian Reservation in Canada 60 + years ago and I bet he made acorn flour and sold it to relatives that followed him here. Had he leveled with me and not come up with a story about feeding the squirrels we would have been happy to have brought him all we could gather. Darn it, I did not know people had any use for the nuts.
Last year we got very few, I hope this year like in past years it just rains Acorns, may be a way to sell them.
Thank you, thank you , now to figure out what to do with the Poke Weed growing in the yard
What difference does it make if he wanted them for squirrels or "acorn four"? The acorns would still be picked up from your yard.
