I went to the park with the dog the other day and it was really windy – I got hit on the head by several conkers and so decided to collect a load. They were just falling to the ground and bursting out of their shells – so lovely to watch!
I collected a whole bag of them – some just as conkers, but some complete that hadn’t opened yet. I brought them home and totally forgot about them until today. I got them out of the bag and most of them have cracked open and look so lovely that I had to take a few snaps…
The plan is to plant them all this week into pots and see if anything grows. We’re going to do the same with any acorns we find too and start our own little nursery of trees in the back garden. I love growing stuff.
