I spent the morning picking pecans with two little kids age 2 and 4, they had the best time.

This was their first time to even see a pecan, I think they picked up every pecan in the yard.

We had storm and a lot of rain this afternoon so they have even more to pick now.

1. your pecans are ready?

I'm going to have a good crop on our old trees this year, but they aren't ready until mid November (SE Arizona)

2. Some are ready, some are still a little green.

I spread them out of newspaper on the big table in back room.

I have really old pecan tree,over hundred years old, and two more about 40 or 50 years old.

This looks like a good year for pecans.

I don't like pecans but I like to pick them.

3. Our trees are at least 50 or 60 years old - not sure when they were planted

maybe even in the 30's.

Sell your pecans! I saw shelled pieces (also known as floor sweepings) for $9/lb yesterday!

I love them fresh and in pies!

4. My kids are grown, so I have to pick mine up by myself. They

usually don't start to fall until the first week of November, but I've picked up quite a few already. I am really surprised to have any at all. We had a late, hard freeze just after they had tassled out and it just turned them brown and crispy overnight. Luckily, it put out some more tassles after the freeze.

I took some to my son and daughter-in-law the other day. Her parents are here on a visit from Vietnam and have never seen pecans before. I'll have to make them a pecan pie the next time I go over.
