Hey…that wasn't a walnut planted in the seed tray in your demonstration. What kind of tomfoolery is this? I want to talk to whoever's in charge.

Waist of the time.
I honestly feel like he just scolded me for the entire length of the video.

Thank me later.
I had some walnuts left from last Christmas (2017) I planted them all in compost without doing a thing to them last month (may 2018) all 15 are now growing well.
Terrible
I'm growing walnut just in a week no just walnut any seed without dormancy season. Come and visit
dick
Hi Mr Steve can I germinate the seed from dry store bought walnuts?!
Mr. Useless video should be your name
Absolutely wrong
You just plant the whole walnut
I am perplexed. Is he saying that you plant the walnut in the shell, or plant the shelled nutmeat, or does he have some secret things that he's sticking in the ground? Hell if I know. What DO you plant to get a walnut tree? A jelly bean? This video is worse than useless.
Wow, why do Americans give so little of use with so much fluff. Stan, outer coating – this could be husk or shell, viewers have no way of knowing. Do you scarify the shell or the nut meat? Your fingers are in the way so we can't even see what you are planting. I think you're just pretending to help which is why most veiwers give you a thumbs down. In short, you take more than you give.
0:51 that’s walnut
This is the shittiest gardening video I have ever watched.
I picked up a few off a tree in the mountains of colorado hopefully they grow.
Thank u so much
