      A wet walnut is a freshly shelled walnut, some that has been put in little packets for the shops is old and dried.

          I think you'd have to get them straight from the tree.

            Surprisingly, Waitrose on Ecclesall Road sold some along with green hazelnuts a couple of years ago. They usually have a Yorkshire produce section that's worth checking out. If I spy some there, I'll let you know, but take a look if you're around that way.

              I've got loads over here- which is no use to you though

              ...but what I'm wondering is what are you planning on doing with them?

                Our local greengrocer used to sell them, I love eating fresh walnuts, but we haven't seen any for a few years now. Perhaps it's one of those things only small local greengrocers sell, and there's not so many of those still around.
                I could not live without a garden, it is my place to unwind and recover, to marvel at the power of all growing things, even weeds!

                  At our local street market you can buy wet walnuts. Am I too late for the ones you salt and pickle. My mum used to do them (god bless her). It seems to be a right messy job but before I pop my clogs (thanks google) I want to do it.

                        Very big! But I suppose they must start small. The trouble is that you have to wait 20 years for the first crop - and some of us don't have that long!!!

                          When I turned 60 I began to think like that. Thank goodness I ignored myself. Today I have mature plants to enjoy.

                            There were wet walnuts at our farm shop a few weeks back only for a couple of weeks yum. I kept them on the kitchen counter, no one could resist when visiting, I only got to eat a few and now there's no more I'm thinking of planting cobnuts though...

                              I think its easier to just buy a tree rather than plant a seed 20 years gosh!!
