What a follow-up to our doozey of a summer. We are having a heavy acorn crop this year. Below is a photo of the driveway I raked a few days ago, so this is just part of the accumulation we have been "blessed" with so far. Last year was an extremely light acorn crop....so much for being an indicator of the severity of the upcoming winter. This covering of acorns is fairly uniform over our entire lawn, gardens, walks and drive, and except for the driveway, has to be mostly hand collected o n e - a c o r n - a t - a - t i m e. No point in starting the clean-up until they have all fallen, so October will be a month of achy lower backs.
