Pecans are funny- some years you get them and some years you don't. Oklahoma had a lot of rain this year and I guess that is what helped them grow so much. <br />I hope you find some to harvest.

I will most likely keep some and sell the others to go into the new house fund. I am impressed with Jeff cracking them himself.

Totally jealous over the pecans. I was just reading that I'd picked up over 200 pounds from out little tree in the back yard a few years ago. Not one, and I mean not ONE, on the tree this year. I plan to scout a litle and see if any of the trees I can reach on our place has any. I'm afraid so much of our land has grown up that I'll not be able to get those few that do have nuts.terricheneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06865436021565986224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4290836394516314441.post-43089656152860076092015-11-08T15:23:10.930-06:002015-11-08T15:23:10.930-06:00Congratulations on your husband's retirement! ...Congratulations on your husband's retirement!
