    When i went on a walk with my grandma, we found acorns. some of them were sprouted. I soaked and planted these acorns. I hope they will survive. these are the steps to planting an acorn. Step 1: you have to soak the acorn in water for 24 hours. Step 2: you have to plant the acorn. Sorry, but those are the only steps. Hope that this information will encourage people to plant more trees. The Earth needs us.

      I was surprised that they are red inside - there are SO many acorns this year.  I wonder how you have to treat them in order to make them edible?
