@themediterraneangardener: The classic Christmas nut - the sweet chestnuts is now out in abundance but you shouldn’t take them from the tree . Wait till they’re on the ground, that’s when they’re ready. They can be a bit spiky to collect by hand so for speed and comfort I use a fruit collector (i got mine from worm.co.uk) Collect them in autumn, from October to mid November and you can you enjoy them all the way through to Christmas. #garden #gardening #gardentok #chestnuts #foraging
