The last time I mowed I noticed a bunch of pecans on the ground under the pecan tree in our backyard. . We didn't what to do with them so we did what any warm-blooded American would do--we googled it. Following the handy dandy instructions we found online we had the kids gather them up and sort them. (Some are still in green shucks, some are in brown shucks, some brown shucks are cracked or peeling and some are shuckless.) The shucks are outside of the pecan shells. Now. . . we wait. The pecans have to dry. In a couple weeks we'll crack open the shuckless ones and (hopefully) roast them. I don't know--this is all new to us. I hope it works. . .
