Here's a snap I took this afternoon, one of my almond trees.

Today I drove a few hundred kilometres to visit an open garden (private garden) which is only open on one weekend a year, and this weekend was the last ever. I'll have a post coming up at some stage, managed to get a reasonable image or two. I also took some snaps of some silo art which I'll share at some stage. It was a nice day, picnic lunch and good tunes in the car as I drove. Amazing weather too.

I hope your weekend has been good so far.

How beautiful is that almond tree, it reminds me of someone who taught me a lot of what I know about gardening!

Beautiful weekend then, I'll wait for those shots, I'm sure they'll be beautiful!

The simplest things are the most beautiful things in life, like good music and a picnic, I'm so glad!

I've had better weekends... I'm sure the next one will be better, nothing that can't be solved. Thanks Galen🤗

Oh bummer you had a challenging weekend...you needed a drive in the countryside, agarden visit, and picnic I think. Let's hope next weekend is better.

Yes I think that would make me well.... and continue the challenge... there are days like that, I'll get through it.

Thank you!!!

Fruit and nut trees are the best. I will need to try Almond next. Not sure if they will grow here in Canada

I've got almonds all over my trees and am looking forward to a harvest. Growing up, my parents had an orchard with a lot of different fruit trees including a few big almond trees and we'd get few 44 gallon drums full of them...almonds coming out of our ears. We used to sell and barter them. I'm not sure if they'll grow in Canada though, meaning I have no clue.

Almonds are my favourite… I might need to move to California to grow them…

Showing results for can i grow almonds in Ontario Canada :

Almonds originating from Southern Europe and California are only borderline hardy in the fruit growing districts of Ontario, and they seldom ripen early enough for our season. A selection called Hall's Hardy almond is a hybrid that is hardy and early ripening, but the nut is bitter and unsatis

Hmm, maybe best to buy your almonds and invest your time and effort into something that will grow well. Not apples though, I think you have enough of them.

Yes … or barter my apples for almonds …

Brilliant idea!
