Our New Front Garden

Across the road is a grassy area with mature chestnut trees. I'm currently stringing up more "conkers" for the kids than chillis for the kitchen.

Hey, David. Dumb question but consider this an educational one for me, okay? I live in Arizona. What is a "conker"?

Conkers are horse-chestnuts. (The shiny, brown, nut-like seeds from the tree).
Look on Lori's photos and you'll see a picture of 36 conkers.
My Sheltie's name is Conker. ! :o)

Thanks, TT, for explaining. Just to the left of this pic is an entrance to the town park, so we are well-placed for bike rides, etc, too.
