When you drill into end grain with a sharp Forstner bit, you get some really interesting shavings.

#FotoVorschlag 'Nachbarschaft'
Dieser alte Garten war vor ein paar Jahren in meiner Nachbarschaft.
today's cats.
Zorro (the tux) and Batman (the calico) were almost spooning and Walnut, the tortie, was behaving as starved as she could. i gave all three of them treats.
she's always around scouting for food. i don't have good enough videos but she's also a bully. anyway, here's Walnut looking slick. you can also see that her forepaws are dark and have black/brown toebeans while her rear paws are paler buff coloured and they have pink beans.

Genetic mechanism of alternating sexes in #walnut #trees has some parallels to #SexDetermination in humans https://phys.org/news/2025-01-genetic-mechanism-alternating-sexes-walnut.html
Ancient structural variants control sex-specific #flowering time morphs in #walnuts and #hickories https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.ado5578
"A walnut #tree produces #flowers of one sex, then the other in the same season, but trees differ in which one comes first. Individual trees are consistently male-first or female-first in flowering."

There has been lots said about 2024 being a poor year for pumpkins and squash in the UK. It has also been notable for: squirrels ring barking sycamore trees, causing a lot of crown death; tiny walnuts; tiny chestnuts. Chestnuts are 25mm max; green walnuts 40mm. Unlikely to have formed a kernel. I have germinated walnuts three years of the last six and chestnuts last year. I doubt it will happen this year. #autumn #chestnuts #sheffield #walnut #juglansnigra #castanea
How to forage walnuts on a hill
It is recommended to wear thin shoe soles to feel the #walnut when stepping on it. Further, any garments with extra pockets will be advantageous like a bike shirt.
Oh hey, some friendly neighborhood creature left this gift for me!
