Gonna rethink everything I did when I plant these.....maybe black plastic or possibly some drip irrigation to keep them going thru the summer.

I have never had roasted chestnut before so I roasted some and they were good. Its a different taste but I liked it.....I can see why deer devour them.
Thanks Sippy. I like trying new and different things and get alot of ideas from the QDMA forum. Lots of good info on that site.

Chestnuts are very good if you split the shell, boil them in salt water, and pop them in the oven for 15 minutes.
