Almond blossom at last!

I didn't know that trees could tell the time but here's proof that they can!

Two years ago, in 2012, when I posted the first tiny bit of almond blossom on our trees, it was the 22nd of February. This was followed by the almond trees in full blossom on the 24th.

Today, the trees are in blossom both in the fields and our garden.

Although there are plenty more buds to open, the trees certainly brighten up the countryside...

...as well as keeping the bees busy.

Hopefully, we will now be frost free and can look forward 

to a good crop of almonds in a few months.
