Hi there, I did send this before, but it may be worth a new read.<\/span><\/p>\n

As we know when we plant acorns, we help bring new life into the world.<\/span><\/p>\n

You also might like to make a wish when you plant each one and see what happens\u00a0.<\/span><\/p>\n

These may be some helpful ideas.<\/span><\/p>\n

First get the acorns from where you can find them outside by hedge rows, by oak trees, in the forests or a garden centre .<\/span><\/p>\n

Wrap the acorns in a tea towel or handkerchief and let them soak in water for a minimum of 48 hours before planting them in the forest your garden or anywhere outside where you are able.<\/span><\/p>\n

We can plant acorns in the UK in the autumn, from around September \/ October time after they have ripened on the tree and had a chance to fall when the leaves of the tree go brown.<\/span><\/p>\n

Collecting acorns in autumn ensures they are mature and gives them the necessary cool, moist conditions over the winter to germinate in the spring.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Steps to Planting Acorns:<\/span><\/p>\n

Collect acorns in autumn i.e. now:<\/span><\/p>\n

Look for acorns from oak trees in the UK during the September \/ October time and choose ones with brown skin that have fallen from the tree.<\/span><\/p>\n

Test for viability: Place the collected acorns in a bucket of water; those that sink are healthy and good for planting any ones that float you can discard.<\/span><\/p>\n

Prepare the planting pot:<\/span><\/p>\n

Fill a pot with a standard potting mix, ensuring there is a layer of compost on top.<\/span><\/p>\n

In countryside , just take a stick and plant the acorns in at say 1.5 inches not to deep.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sowing the acorn:<\/span><\/p>\n

Push the acorn into the soil with your finger.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Cover the acorn with a thin layer of soil, to protect it from predators, such as mice and squirrels !<\/span><\/p>\n

Overwinter and wait for spring: If they are in a pot they should be by a sheltered spot over the winter months. Roots will grow, and shoots will emerge in late April or early spring.<\/span><\/p>\n

We have planted acorns at Camelot Castle \u00a0, you can see some of the pots here in the photographs.<\/span><\/p>\n

You can get your family, friend, or friends to meet you and go out together and plant, its fun !<\/span><\/p>\n

Please do send this onto any one you know that you think might enjoy this idea also do send any photographs of your planting or finding acorns.<\/span><\/p>\n

Nice day for you best wishes from all the family and Teddy\u00a0.<\/span><\/p>\n
