Re: Almonds
I think there are 2 picking seasons, around now for green ones and later in the year for ripened ones.Phipplebert wrote:I'm struggling a bit to get to the bottom of conflicting online advice...
When (roughly / normally) does one pick almonds in the PO, to dry?
Does one normally remove the green husk before drying or dry with it attached.
Thanks in advance.
Both my neighbour and my gardener have orchards of almonds, I'll ask then and let you know.

A few years back Christine Llense finished her university degree for learning everything about almonds. She has changed quite a few things when she took control of the business. She made the local news as things went from better to better.
I drive past her area but I never stopped. Maybe I will have to see what she has, although it's fattening, I think. Miammmm!

Seems to answer most of your questions.
Note the rather useful bit of info about wild bitter almonds being toxic.
