You know all those catkins from the oak and hickory trees?  Those things that stuff up your gutters, and hang all over everything in the spring?  In actuality, they are the male flowers carrying pollen to make future acorns.  Ok, we get that.

 

Well, I heard a great name for them the other day:  are you ready?  Oak Worms.  Hahaha!!!

 

My friend called them that in passing, and I fell out laughing.  I guess it is a throwback from her childhood.  Funny!!!  Anyway, now you know what to call them...next spring, when you see them again.

 

HAPPY GARDENING!!!
