Went to 4 walnut trees today and got about 3 gallons. This is will hull on.

My neighbor has 2 trees that are usually loaded and I got 4 walnuts. The rest came off of 1 tree. The rest are bare.

I made a huge boo-boo. Both of my hands are stained by walnuts. I have tried all the tricks listed, but nothing is cutting the stain.

Also, when I hull the walnuts, there are little white worms inside. Luckily, they don't penetrate the shell.

Did you try lemon juice?

Did you try lemon juice?

Yes. Plus baking soda, vinegar, Goo Gone, Dawn, soap and water

Question...... when you store beans and rice, do you freeze for a few days, thaw, bake at 225° for 2 hours then vacuum seal. I have not, but that is what the video said.

If I need to I will.

I do not store beans and rice together. When done separately, I put them in Mylar bags with a bit of DE sprinkled in and oxygen absorbers. Then I put them in 5 or 6 gallon buckets.

You aren't going to want to hear this but, we grow pecans. By the end of harvest each year, my hands are black. The only way to get the stain off that I have found, other than time, is bleach! Probably not the safest thing to do but, I have used it if I have to go somewhere where it might matter like a nice dinner, wedding etc...

I've done all of those, plus some. I always wear gloves, but got carried away this time and forgot.

Did you try the bleach recommended?

 

[Robinjopo1]

No bleach. Poison.

 

[rainingcatzanddogs]

No bleach. Poison.

The only other thing that sort of works is a Lava bar. It will just take multiple washes and some time but it will come off a little faster. If your hands are soft to begin with though, it can be irritating to your skin.

Chlorine Dioxide will do it. Safe PH, not poison.

That brings back memories. My dad always kept a bar of Lava soap to clean his hands. I don't have sensitive hands. As I've proven, I work without gloves a lot.

There is very little that I do without gloves. Try to keep my hands and fingers soft for giving my wife massages. My feet are callous but the fingers are soft still.

Amazing to me that people that claim to be preppers and are regularly on prepper forums , thus were warned over and over of the coming food crisis and still did not plant a garden this year . Perhaps if they survive the winter they will see the error of their laziness and plant a garden next spring .

 

[Robinjopo1]

I agree. My son's teacher is making raised bed gardens but decided to wait to plant until next year. I held my tongue because we had already talked about food shortages coming.

People think it will hit every one else.

Assuming they have running water available and a big drought (or worse) doesn't happen. At the very least, this should have been a learning year.

According to the AG reports that I read, all of the crops grown in our region are average or a little better than average. There are no shortages of food...at least not yet. There may be some processed foods that could become short in some areas. We don't eat much processed foods anyway so that's not a problem for us.
