If you put them in the house, but a little bit of foil under them.

I should probably go pick a truckload and sell them.

Anyone that wants any come by my house I'll put u together. I hate picking them up in the fall the gf used to wear a hard hat to keep from getting beaned in the head...

YOu have Hedge trees in your yard? you sure its not walnuts?

With Hedge balls, you have to pick them from the tree. Once they fall to the ground, they bruise and they'll blacken and rot fairly quickly.

it's a helluva year for walnuts and hickory nuts. i've got them all over the yard, and it's downright dangerous trying to walk thru the woods.
