Black walnut trees in an air prune bed.

I gathered the nuts locally last fall and threw them into a poultry brooder I made that didn't work well. I used foam board to insulate it for the birds and the birds tried eating it. 

1/2"x1" cage wire bottom, 2"x4" ripped in half for the frame, aluminum flashing for the outside, 1" pink foam for the inside. 

The south side had much, much higher germination rates, likely due to sun exposure/heat. This is the first May in 20 years of Kansas living that it hasn't at least in the high 80s. Night Temps mostly in the 50s, also oddly low. Curious to see if I get full germination once we heat up. https://image.nostr.build/3427d2af56054a04152c5d0cc8e4013d2c9300acb423e8f9f55e38ded29e6dd8.jpg
