Miss K, please share your wisdom on how you find picking up pecans to be something to be thankful for as I need the inspiration. We have 2 large trees in our yard and I despise dealing with them. Share your wisdom, please.

It's a bumper crop this year...I thought the web worms and squirrels were going to get them all! It's like an Easter Egg hunt and I love finding them! They are delicious! Tomorrow, I am getting the rake out! :wave:

P.S. I am a cheap date!
 
I guess it is just a case of beauty in the eye of the beholder.

I don't like to eat them or bake with them. The only way I will eat them is hidden in fudge and then finely chopped.

We have a bumper crop too, they are everywhere, and my trees are right over my patio which makes a huge mess. Squirrels nibble on them constantly and make a mess on the patio and you can't walk for stepping on them. I have almost fallen over them several times.

Dbuck if you get to Memphis, I will gladly give you all you can carry home with you :clap: and you know if they would fall from the trees, shelled and in zip lock bags I think I could really get into liking them. :lol:

But what I am thankful for is when they are all gone and my husband has raked the yard and every pecan and hull is gone. Yaaa.

Oooh, Minnie, I wish I lived close..we would come and take them all. I LOVE fresh pecans. I always buy them when I'm down south. I love to make pecan pie. We had walnut trees growng up but they were such a pain.

As I told my husband when we married, I don't do windows, mow the lawn, or shell pecans. You are welcome to them, but they come with the shells on them. :floor:

Actually my Mother and Aunt came and got baskets full and my neighbors in their 70's did too. Then they give me about 3 large bags full already shelled and that will last me for years.

Even then I still have hundreds on the ground and that many more in the trees. We usually have a bumper crop about every other year. We lost hundreds to the squirrels when they were green and to limbs breaking from the weight of the pecans.
