And oh, by the way, my buffalo grass lawn is doing quite well and its
VERY natural.

Not very familiar with the species, as it is not common hereabouts,
but the name alone tells me it is likely very well suited to your
neighborhood. Though, of course, we also had bison hereabouts a while
back......buffalo grass may well be a native species in western
Curdistan, for all I know.

Sure, send some chesnuts.

Will do.....assuming that Larry doesn't eat or otherwise dispose of
them in the meantime. Alas, his short term memory has nearly
completely deserted him, thus requiring various strategems to
circumvent boneheaded actions on all sorts of levels.

And while we're on the subject, anyone else wishing to receive some
American chestnut seed should let me know in the next couple of
months. I have probably a hundred or so , and germination rates tend
to be very high. I believe Becky may have another fifty.....possible
a few more. In all, we can safely promise 75-100 viable seed to all
interested parties on a first come first served basis. Details to
follow.

I can plant them at the bottom of the hill

About the time they are ready to ship.....late winter to early
spring.....I will once again post here (as well as sending emails to
individual recipients) instructions as to the proper care to be taken
with the seeds and seedlings. As those who received them last year
can attest, ALL instructions and safeguards are to be be taken
EXTREMELY seriously.....unless you just like dead ****.

and let the grandkids throw them at each other in a few years.

Unless and until you have handled actual chestnut burs (sans VERY
thick and tough leather gloves), you really cannot imagine how LARGE a
ruckus that is most certainly going to raise.

hyperbole be damned, we're talking major hurt here.
