I've sown a few in compost, if they grow I'll add them to hedgerows.Cro Magnonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06840670227576695352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-44306639406267432432014-10-08T17:16:26.546-07:002014-10-08T17:16:26.546-07:00….picked the blackberries and then the hazelnuts i...….picked the blackberries and then the hazelnuts in the hedges of Devon.

Up here in Scotland, everything has peaked a little earlier than you, so my sloes and damsons are already sitting in gin and sugar, and the brambles are in the freezer. Crab-apples have been passed onto a friend who makes crab-apple and chilli jelly. The squirrels got all our hazelnuts this year :(Becca McCallumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09339982441409936532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-30156635114422850682014-10-08T14:09:43.005-07:002014-10-08T14:09:43.005-07:00We have seen this hazelnut bounty too, I picked so...We have seen this hazelnut bounty too, I picked some up intending to plant them, and have pushed some in with the spring bulbs, but why I din't think to eat them I don't know??

There are commercial orchards of them here too.<br /><br />I had the best salad at our anniversary dinner - hearts of Romaine lettuce, placed side by side on a lovely square plate - drizzled over with an ice cold bleu cheese dressing and sprinkled with whole hazelnuts. I think when we go back to that restaurant I am going to order two of the salads and call it my dinner - it was that delicious. I love an ice cold salad and this one was beyond delicious.<br /><br />Now I want to go check the hazelnut trees - better get a hard hat.JoAnn ( Scene Through My Eyes)https://www.blogger.com/profile/12621061028973446378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-57259776023558691352014-10-08T12:47:30.162-07:002014-10-08T12:47:30.162-07:00Those British hedgerows are legend, but I never kn...Those British hedgerows are legend, but I never knew they had foodstuffs amongst them. Nuts are a luxury and so healthy. I really don't know how farmers of old fed their families. There really doesn't seem to be reasons why things do or don't produce. We haven't had wild plums for the last three years, but gallons before that.donna bakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13507579686738843451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-25357145932718362722014-10-08T12:21:15.504-07:002014-10-08T12:21:15.504-07:00The bowl is beautiful, and so are the hazelnuts.

I am sure you left plenty of nuts for the squirrels and how lovely to have your own supply for Christmas - assuming there will still be some left by then!

I will have to Google it. :) I'm glad most things are performing well for you this year. I LOVE hazelnuts! But i must say i have never seen a hazelnut tree. Since coming to CA i have seen an almond tree which was something new for me...In TX where i lived for many years it was all about the pecans. We had two trees of our own that gave us plenty and plenty to share with friends and squirrels alike. How i miss them.... <br />I hope we live in the country again one day....spend our retirement years there....nothing like enjoying natures bounty.
