I agree that we carry a bit of them with us--whenever I drink black tea, I think of Grandma Hartung (haven't tried her onion sandwiches yet).<BR/><BR/>Kgmom,<BR/>That's great, taking your church group to glean apples. What do you do with them, bake pies? Excursions with other people can be so much fun.<BR/><BR/>Judy,<BR/>I'd like to plant blueberry bushes when we get our own house again. Also apple trees and a small garden. But it's nice to have the public trees around here!<BR/><BR/>Heather,<BR/>I like that the German school taught your son's class how to prepare the nuts. Kids get so much self confidence from these life skills!africakidandtheworldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16664490603920452905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16860768.post-36475556708900328072008-10-14T22:13:00.000+02:002008-10-14T22:13:00.000+02:00My oldest first learned to "collect" in school her...My oldest first learned to "collect" in school here. Every fall he gathers beechnuts from the park and brings them home and prepares them as he learned in school. To me they are not worth the effort, but he is very proud to identify and prepare these little treats.Heather Risinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14683749937374502231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16860768.post-61425315426937382302008-10-13T23:36:00.000+02:002008-10-13T23:36:00.000+02:00I love the thought of having food to pick.

Too bad I researched and found out how hard that can truly be. If we had a blueberry bush or cherry tree around, I am afraid I would be stalking it for food. Imagine being able to just go to a wooded area and picking it. I think they are very lucky to have growing food items nearby.Judy in Indianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10692193695672376989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16860768.post-13210685861761013422008-10-12T02:11:00.000+02:002008-10-12T02:11:00.000+02:00Here in central PA, we call it gleaning.Our church...Here in central PA, we call it gleaning.<BR/>Our church takes a group every year to glean the apple orchards.KGMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05165941950953938943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16860768.post-71272655408403479072008-10-10T04:33:00.000+02:002008-10-10T04:33:00.000+02:00Whenever you talk about our grandmas, it makes me ...Whenever you talk about our grandmas, it makes me miss them.I think we carry just a bit of them with us, though. I was ready to glean some blackberries on the morning walk with the dogs...until the rain threatened to drench me...maybe tomorrow!
