Yes! I have my first chestnut crop. Not very large, but I am satisfied.
It has been quite warm for the end of September and beginning of October, and still only the rain I mentioned in the other post. Not a drizzle or a drop in more than a week again. I did water a few things yesterday, but nothing today. At this point, if they are dead, or dying, I will let them go. There are too many other plants that are still full of life that need attention.
To celebrate all the plants that have survived our record-breaking dry summer, here are pics offered as proof of my gardening talents…
The chestnuts in the open shell:
In my hand…
And the empty husk.
