I have a tree in the garden with lots of nuts this year and I would like
to have some more. I have put some nuts into the ground last fall without
success. Any advice for grwing walnuts form seed would be 
appreciated.

No need to remove the husk if black walnuts. Stratify the nuts. This
means put them  in damp sand and let them freeze/get very cold for
several weeks. I do mine in an old metal trashcan, with bottom mostly
cut out, and hardware cloth covering the bottom and the top so
squirrels cannot get them. Rain and snow fall freely on the open top
of the can. Remove in early spring and plant.
