Fruitastic and nutty

This morning we had a look at our fruit trees to see what needed harvesting! First stop, with plastic pot and bag in hand the almond tree that last week was showing promise. Wow,the outer casings had now split open to reveal the nut, time to get picking. Soon the bag was full and there are still many more to collect, but what to do with this many almonds! Then we saw how the peach trees had come on, let’s hope they don’t all ripen at the same time. Next stop a fig tree for some fruit for breakfast, soon there will be more than we can eat, need to get some jars for fig chutney. And finally some apples and pears think we may need more jars and a larger freezer.
