Check your health food stores... Amazing Grace carrys it here.. I've not 
seen it at Whole Foods (foods should be spelled Food$$$)

Yeah... almost all of our parks were designed by Olmstead (He designed 
NYC's Central Park) and they were all designed to be arboretums. 
Cherokee Park is full of Black Walnut trees and they are so plentiful 
that people harvest baskets full of them.  Later this fall I'll have the 
"black hands" from shucking walnuts.

Iroquois Park has a nice grove of peach trees which are always picked clean.

I am afraid we have not put back enough this year... we have had a 
drought this year.  Plus dad passed six years ago and Mom can't keep up 
with it... and with my cancer I can not tolerate heat anymore on all the 
meds.
