Autumn/Fall

B

As the Nature thread is rather slow to load now as it's a bit cumbersome, and as threads are locked after 6 months, I thought I'd start a thread for the wonderful 'season of mists and mellow fruitfulness' rather early, as it's not the 1st September yet.

I don't think I've ever been so glad to get one season kicked out the door and see another arrive.

Please share anything autumnal.

I will upload a photo or two when I find them.

  • On my walk today I noticed horse chestnuts have dropped their seeds, but not seen acorns yet. I looked up at one of the oak trees that usually sends masses of acorns making a crunchy path and eventually noticed some stunted versions of acorns. I am hoping they are still forming and the recent rain has helped.

    I think it was last year that was a mast year - I remember filling up a whole garden recycling bin with them.

    I wonder whether with the drought and that, the trees will rest.

    I love the acorns.
