Out picking sloes and I thought I’d check the almonds. We only planted these trees 18 months ago and already they have a few nuts…the outer casing, like a tough peach, has started to split. When it opens fully they’re ready to pick. A crap pic it maybe but that’s what you get from a phone camera on a cold, dewy morning.
I may have mentioned this before, but I intend to make a bread using the first nuts and call it Mark’s Almonds Tainted Loaf
You are sick.

The pun makes some groan but it made me smile 🙂 Maybe showing my age?
All the best for what sounds like a rather tasty loaf.
It makes me happy to see the little guys grow! I hope to see them soon :o)
Soft Cell *and* Jimi Hendrix? Good work.
funny, I look forward to seeing the tainted loaf…hope you don't forget to follow through!
Did you try eating the fuzzy green almonds in the Spring? Haven't tried myself yet but know they're a Middle-Eastern delicacy e.g: http://girlcookinparis.blogspot.com/2009/04/les-amandes-fraiches-fresh-almonds.html
Hello
I've only eaten a couple, as we haven't had a huge crop yet…very lovely and quite un-almondy…more like peas in flavour.
Nice blog btw
