Which is the best week to collect Chestnuts ?

[gensetsteve]

I like chestnuts and always seem to miss the best time. Last week in Windsor great park the trees were covered but what I found on the floor looked a bit small. The wind Monday will bring loads down but is it too early.

I was told if they are not ready they can upset your stomach and make you ill ?

Does a dry summer make for good or bad Nuts ?

Good point I never realised rooks liked them. So needs to be squirrel main course chestnuts for pudding.
