I didn't know it was going to be spread that wide.”<img src="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?type=thumbnail_580x000&amp;url=2VWEBi_1FTxjy8C00" alt="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=2VWEBi_1FTxjy8C00" width="800" height="450" >Since her father died, Hatley said she has picked pecans on the property and throughout the surrounding area every season. Along the way, she has learned more about growing pecan trees herself.“I can plant them because I know how to do it,” Hatley said. “Don't ever plant a tree during the time of daylight. It's at dusk is the best time because it's a tender plant, and the sun will kill it.”<img src="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?type=thumbnail_580x000&amp;url=4YP3Ks_1FTxjy8C00" alt="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=4YP3Ks_1FTxjy8C00" width="800" height="450" >Hatley may be the self-proclaimed Pecan Lady, but no one appears to be fighting her for the title.With two pecan trees on her property and a knack for finding more around Clyde, Hatley and her friend Terry harvested more than 700 pounds of pecans last year.Hatley said harvesting that many pecans sometimes means getting her hands dirty.<img src="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?type=thumbnail_580x000&amp;url=1FaMQM_1FTxjy8C00" alt="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=1FaMQM_1FTxjy8C00" width="800" height="450" >“No one could see themselves getting in the garbage and picking them up out of the mud after rain,” Hatley said. “But the rain made it grow. And I thank the Lord that he did make it rain, because without it, nothing grows.”For Hatley, a little mud is a small price to pay for a good pecan harvest.“When it does rain, it's a blessing,” Hatley said. “So, picking them up out of the mud, I wouldn't mind getting a little bit dirty. I get soap and water. I take a shower and get busy out here.”While Hatley won't be attending the Clyde Pecan Festival happening Saturday because, as she put it, she “doesn't want the publicity,” she is ready for another pecan season and another harvest.</div></body>
