And surprisingly the nuts are not that ripe yet. We sometimes drive up to Albox area to see the trees in bloom, and I know there is an almond plant open for a couple of months each year in Alfoquia, where you can take your harvest to be shelled. I think your burner is an excellent idea.

I must be in a similar temperature zone as Valerie, because I have seen walnut trees in the city, but never hazelnut. We get apples, pecans, and peaches, but they mostly grow in the southeast part of the state. We have some nice grape vines near the city, too.<br /><br />I'm thrilled you have a place where you can actually pick the almonds, because they are very expensive in the US. Far more so than pecans and walnuts.<br /><br />Looks like hard work to get those shells, but if that's the best way to have them delivered, it is probably a fun weekend, especially if the other families are there at the same time.<br /><br />Thanks for bringing back this interesting post for your second look on the 2nd. Now I'm off to see your photo hunt photos.Bleubeard and Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10149710375520733752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6549829449802315358.post-41935285250817582932016-07-02T09:05:40.531+02:002016-07-02T09:05:40.531+02:00How lovely to have almond trees growing everywhere...How lovely to have almond trees growing everywhere. We have walnut and hazelnut trees here, but I have never seen almonds. I love the idea of using the shells as fuel, but it must be a lot o work - and fun - getting them all bagged up and ready. Have a great weekend, and thanks for sharing your nutty story, you have me craving burnt almonds now! Hugs, ValerieValerie-Jaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01538850820168903865noreply@blogger.com
