This morning we removed them from their casings. Again, the gloves were needed. My hands now ache. It was not an easy job but at least we have a few kg of sweet chestnuts for use over the winter.

Picking sweet chestnuts
I headed into the wilds of Crystal Palace Park, near my house in London yesterday, and filled a shopping bag with sweet chestnuts, all still in their casings. I thought it useful to get them now, to beat the squirrels to them. Strong gardening gloves are needed to pick them.

Hi, I just picked some myself. They are very small and squishy, not like i remember them being when i collected them as a child. Is this common? do you have any idea if there is something wrong with them. when i take them apart they completely lack any "flesh"
