and who would be interested in having a handful of acorns, i am gonna get some padded mailers and put maybe a dozen in each one.

I was going to decap them, and I did a couple hundred, but it’s time consuming. Plus, they need to stay moist to germinate, and the cap is a right proper little sponge ideal for that purpose. So with caps they’re bigger. I will be happy to mail them to you (Within reason) if you shoot me an email to mhardig at aol dot com. They need to be planted quick, but planting is simple; find loamy (Soft) black soil, drop them on the ground, and step on them. You can also plant them in a pot indoors and grow seedlings, and then transplant them outdoors once they acheive a reasonable size.

In wild areas, I have been putting the acorns in where they are between existing trees (better yet, dead trees or rotting stumps) in soil that is covered in leaves and forest debris, and where the seedlings will not be likely to get mowed. Here’s a good primer on oaks.

Let me take this moment to point out a few things to you.

You’re old, and ugly, and the most productive years of your life are behind you. If you have a medical condition more complex than hives or roids, the Gummint is gonna give you painkillers and let you die. the only thing the party wants from you is your vote, and they will use it after you’re dead anyway, so have fun in your golden years, however long they last.

Joan says it more succinctly than I do, anyway, but I’m just pointing it out to the people I know who are so enamored of this BS.

Partner:”If I’d known I was gonna live this long…”
Me”You’d have taken better care of yourself?”
P.”No, I’d have taken steps to prevent it”
