I hope you enjoyed following the walnut harvest here at Manoir Les Parts and if you did you will love the House Tour here ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-X_Uka1ozGOw.html
Decades ago when In Greece I saw nets put under olive trees to catch the olives, so being a creative person I put nets under my Bramley apple trees and instead of falling on the ground and bruising the apples fell into the nets undamaged. You have to pick them out of the nets regularly, but much more efficient than picking off the ground. Why not try this with your walnuts?
I just love everything you video and share with us. Your genuine kind nature really shows through and I’m reminded of how wonderful it is to learn about so many things in this life outside our own daily experiences. Merci très beaucoup! 🇨🇦
How many likes can I give this video?! So fun to watch you harvest these walnuts. Walnuts are so nutritious - thanks for the facts about them. When I was a kid in northern Illinois (many years ago), my parents and I used to drive out to an old country road and harvest walnuts that had dropped from all the trees along the road. Thanks for jogging this memory.
I grew up in Pennsylvania where we called your kind of walnuts "English walnuts". We had native black walnuts which are tough-guy northern cousins of your walnuts. Black walnut hulls or husks don't break off but natually rot off on the ground over the winter. So what we did was gather them in the fall and spread them on the driveway and drive over them many times to get the hull off. The nuts were not affected by traffic so then we took them in and broke the shell with a hammer! A lot of work for little yield but my grandmother used the meat to make delicous caramel candies.
Same here in New York...we have black walnut trees...much messy work,...I do feel inspired to gather some this fall, though... after watching Marie Anne's video!
Manoir les Parts is looking very beautiful these days. Lovely grounds. Nice walnut harvest too. I cracked a tooth filling eating walnuts earlier this year so I began making my own walnut butter instead to prevent further damage.
SO much fun to watch your Walnut Harvest! Was eating a fresh fruit salad, with walnuts & chia seeds! Cocoa and Peanut were adorable 🥰 Watching you in the rain 🌧 made me smile! You are an inspiration for all of us! ❤
Yay! Rah! Really enjoyed this one. Wish I could enjoy some of your freshly picked walnuts! I ALWAYS keep them on hand. Worked at the Library yesterday to set-up for their book sale. Felt a little like Peanut when I got home. Enjoy a nice hot bath, and rest after that hard, fruitful labor.❤
I admire you in this country side videos. Share your joy and like you so much without makeup .I can smell fresh air, like your house, get a lot of positive energy from you. Looking forward to watch next video. Great job. Thank you.
Wow, you got fresh walnuts for your kitchen, that is so nice. One of my favorite way of having walnuts is to toast walnuts for 2-3 minutes in the oven and then add a few drizzles of honey, to coat walnuts with honey and to snack them.
Such a wonderful self sustaining life style you and Carl live. Peanut and Coco benefit so well living in the country as they do. Mmmm...walnuts and fresh apples! Delicious. I imagine that walnuts are also good brain food since their "meat" is brain shaped. Thank you, Marie-Anne for sharing ur time with us. 🤠❣
Géniale la vidéo Marie Anne . Elles sont magnifiques vos noix et bien saines ! Une bonne première récolte pour des gâteaux et du vin de noix ! Une Grenobloise , en Argentine 🇦🇷 ( plein de noyers ici aussi )
Marie Anne !!Hermosos tus arboles de nueces !!! Son tan ricas! !Y Felicitaciones por tus ayudantes !!!Coco y Peanut !!!🐕🐕Felicidades por tus logros !!👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏💪💪💪💪💪❤
Love the walnuts you’ve collected.. love Coco and Peanut foraging also.. they are so cute… you are a lovely warm happy woman.. mahalo, from Hawaii … walnut collecting seems much more joyful than Macadamia collecting Here with mosquitos for days..
Delightful fall activity! Interesting subtitles. Thank you for sharing this experience with me today. Didn't know walnuts could grow so large. Truly longing for your lifestyle and will "participate" by making walnut milk today. Also been wondering if you have been affected by any of France's wildfires? They can be devastating here on the west coast, USA.
Oh, Marie-Anne, you are truly living a dream…harvesting walnuts in the your own backyard. My favorite nut (fruit). Will you share a recipe or two with the walnuts? Yum!
I've come across another tool that might be helpful Marie-Anne. It's called the Darlac Grab and Lift and Amazon sell it. I'm always looking for easier ways to pick up fallen leaves without mowing
I remember helping my mother collect walnuts from the trees in the grove next to our Iowa farmhouse. Grandpa would shell them over the winter months in his basement and provide us all with quart jars of nutmeats ready to use in baking. Sweet memories.
Bonjour Marie-Anne! Walnuts, how wonderful and delicious. I enjoyed the whole video including seeing your puppies, looks like you worked Peanuts too hard, he had to take a nap, how cute. I enjoyed the glimpses of yours and Carl's hard work inside and outside, beautiful! You are an amazing woman. Have a blessed week. I always look forward to seeing you.
I loved seeing your harvest. It reminded me of my grandpa harvesting from his huge walnut tree. He used newspaper in boxes too. I love walnuts in banana bread.
What a beautiful property & home you have. Love the videos you do, sharing with us. Makes me envious 😉. Will all the walnuts last thru the year? Do you crack & shell them and then freeze them?
Loved your vlog. Thank you for putting a black background for your subtitles. Much easier to read. Other bloggers do it in fancy writing and it is over their scene of film and it disappears into the background. Would love to see more on your farmhouse.
A lock keeper on the Loire Canal gave us a bucket of walnuts. A delicous treat is spreading a walnut half with a paste of finely grated Parmesano-Reggiano and butter.
I would pick black walnuts while on walks and it was quite messy but so much fun. Then years ago while living in El Paso Texas along the Rio Grande we had pecan trees and so tall needing machinery to shake them off the trees. 🎉 Live each moment to its fullest, yes?
Wow that is quite the haul of walnuts..They are so big as well perfect timing for winter baking and snacks. I am just two weeks away from my next fall trip to France..I will keep an eye out for the walnut trees..
Whose job will it be to crack all of them? Will you have enough room in your freezer to store the nutmeats after cracking? I'm surprised no squirrels or animals ate them on the ground.
What a fabulous harvest. Loved seeing the gentle autumn sunshine (for most of the time anyway 😂).The walnut facts were very interesting too. Are you going to use them all or sell some at local markets?
What a harvest your getting. In the states, we were always told large harvests of fruits and nuts equated to a long winter. Hopefully not and😊today you are looking like a true farm girl!
Yum Yum Walnuts from the garden, we eat every morning a few with our oats, oat groats or steelcut oats. Nice for a treat 1 walnut with a date my sweet treat😋 Coco and Peanut where so tired🐕
Thanks so much for the top of paper in the tray! I didn't know this. Collecting walnuts over the last couple weeks (along with much of our village here in France!). Glad we have 2 walnuts trees on our property as well as along the walking path at the bottom of our property as those on the path are now denuded (almost) of walnuts. Such a wonderful year for walnuts! Ps. I love cooking with walnuts. My favourite go to recipe is: sauté thinly sliced onion. Add broccoli florets. Add walnut pieces. A pinch of sea salt. Sauté together until the broccoli is done how you like it.
Wow! Living the dream. So exciting to see you and the fury fellows harvesting. Just recently heard about the hand staining. Good you had the gloves❤️🇨🇦❤️ Enjoy.
We were lucky enough to have a large walnut tree at the back of our property and they were so tasty. We used to put them in the legs of stockings and suspend them on a hook to dry . Thank you for bringing back happy memories.
I learnt so much from watching this video! I kept saying to my husband “ did you know that…..”. I adore watching your journey and adventures. Thank you from Melbourne Australia.
Lovely video😊! Every morning I walk my dog through the vineyards here where I live in Austria 🇦🇹. There are many walnut trees as they were planted to provide workers for shade and are also supposed to keep mosquitoes away. We have been collecting nuts as we go for weeks now and curing them. Very much looking forward this year to experimenting with walnut flour and sage (my garden is bursting) and walnut pesto! Have you tried picking some in June when they are green (gloves essential) and using them to make walnut liqueur? I can highly recommend it 😋 ❤
It certainly is. Pickled walnuts are also an option. June 24, St John's Day is typically when they are ready to pick. I would definitely use the highest alcohol volume (over 90%) for steeping as a normal vodka gives a mediocre result 😘
Miss Marie-Anne that's so much fun darling to picked up fresh walnuts especially peanut and cocoa help you too is adorable good work my Beautiful Teacher l love you kiss muah ❤❤
The happiness you are experiencing is contagious! I love watching you on your lovely farm! My great-grandmother had walnut trees and every year my grandfather would come home with bags of them. He would shell them and bring us bags of unshelled walnuts for our baking. In return, we would give him some of baked items, usually banana nut bread (his favorite). Both are no longer with us, but the memory remains. Seeing all your walnuts reminded me of them. Thank you!
Do you live in a squirrel free zone?!! I have a tree laden but doubt I will be able to leave them on the tree long enough for the cases to break open as a naughty ecureil of 3 will take them first!!
What a lovely video to watch. It's so fun and authenci, not like many of the so-called "simple life" or "off-grid life" or "country life" channels that are staged to looking pretty like a magazine but you never really see them dirt, grit and sweat that goes into living and maintaining a place like this. This is really enjoyable and real, and a city girl like me really appreciate it.
France has such helpful animals, truffle hunting pigs and walnut sniffing dogs. 😅 I was very happy to see that you allow your dandelions to live. There are a group of villages near us, called the Amana Colonies, settled by a group of German immigrants (it’s a fascinating story) they make wine from dandelion flowers. Though sadly most American dislike dandelions. The walnuts look delicious!
Oh, what a wonderful walnut harvest, Marie-Anne. Will you make a tart with them?…and there so many other ideas for them, as well! That’s going to be great fun. I like the way the walnuts plopped out of the tree with a flourish at the end! There is always something interesting going on at Manoir Les Parts!
