It's called un noyer in French, walnuts are noix. A grove or orchard of walnut trees is une noiseraie. I took this photo about a year ago of the lone noyer out among the vineyard parcels. I don't think I've ever posted it. Interesting fact: the town across the river from us is called Noyers-sur-Cher. Walnut Trees on the Cher.
Its bark is worse than its... oh, never mind.
We did get out yesterday morning and picked up the apples, so that's done. I also did a little raking in the garden path where leaves gather. The wind kicked up after lunch and I didn't feel like cutting grass, so there's still that to do.
Its bark is worse than its walnuts?
ReplyDeleteI eat walnuts every morning on my cereal. Aren’t you glad to know that? ;)

I've only seen black walnut trees. Just read about your poppies from yesterday's post- I hope they return next spring.
ReplyDeletemitch, well, I've never tasted the bark...
