Almonds!!!

Nature is great, it works together to make things happen without any influence from us. I have been waiting, not so patiently, for my almonds to be ready to harvest. I tried to force them a bit and it didn't work, it was too early, but now nature has kicked in to help out. The almonds that are ready drop to the ground, the fruit splits open and the sun dries the fruit while the insects eat the flesh and leave the shelled nut. Each day, I go out and pick up a few more that are "nature ready" and here are just a few of those. I hope to remove the husks and roast some of these this weekend!
