You have some unusual plants! I have an almond but it’s a small flowering shrub outside that goes dormant in the winter ( zone 7). The first medlar you showed looks like it has bad mealy bugs ( ugh) the fluffy white stuff in the nodes, easy to kill w alcohol spray. Another tip, check out ethnic markets for things to grow- I have a wonderful Indian market very close that I’ve gotten jackfruit seeds from the fruit, ginger and turmeric tubers, taro and konjac bulbs, fresh dates, lychee nuts, dragon fruit, and jujube. So much fun to try and grow them! Asian markets are good too. Hope everything thrives during the winter, wish I had a greenhouse with a pool! 🪴😊🎃🦇👻🍁

Really good story telling. Your intuition in spotting those that truly need a helping hand and the ones who consistently try to take advantage of good hearted folks. Personally I have learned or discovered that speaking up with one's own observations & truths even if it comes across as a 'negative', helps to shine on the positive area surrounding that comment & opening the door to examine another's viewpoint.

So are all almond shells that easy to take apart right after falling off the tree? Or are there different varieties like pecans (some are “paper shell”)? When we used to get them in the shell at Christmas time we had to use a nut cracker to get the nut out.

In your orchard you’ve stated you use subsurface drip which I’m sure is more efficient than the norm. How many ac-ft of water are you applying and what is your yield tonnage? Even at 1gal/almond the caloric yield is more water efficient than beef or traditional dairy production. Hope you’re having a good harvest this year!
@heronfoxfarm6332 4 ай бұрын
@@mariaornelas9816 thanks for your comment! I tried to calculate it and came to the conclusion that it takes less than a half gallon of water per nut. I’m sure some farmers use more but your right about the caloric yield being more water efficient than beef or dairy, and soy is even worse. Almond trees also sequester more carbon from the atmosphere, and provide by products such as hulls that are food for livestock. Cheers!

Just found your channel, I live in Spain. My dream is to grow an organic almond orchard. I am already doing experiments I planted a dozen of almonds 2 years ago ('Penta' variety) and I recently sowed micro clover seeds and crimson clover seeds. I doubt Crimson will grow in my zone but who knows. Dandelions I have a lot naturally. Salvia is good too, bumblebees love it.

@heronfoxfarm6332 Жыл бұрын
Unpasteurized almonds will stay alive and great frozen for a year or much longer. They do not need to be thawed and refrozen. I only mean that there’s no harm in doing that, because in nature that is what happens to tree seeds before they would sprout in the spring. If they germinated too quickly in the fall they wouldn’t survive the winter as seedlings. Thanks so much for your comments and for watching!

Do you have any grass eating animals (sheep or cows)? If you do, have you thought of allowing them to graze in the orchard? Or any variety of ducks? Also do almonds alternate years of harvest like pecans?
@heronfoxfarm6332 Жыл бұрын
Thanks for your questions. I have thought about using grazing animals. The reason I don’t have grazers is because the almonds are shaken and harvested on the ground, so any fresh animal manure would be a problem. I could have animals in the orchard from October through April but then I’d have to move them somewhere else for the summer season when the grass is growing the most. It’s just not practical for me and I already have too much on my plate. And no, almonds are not alternate bearing. Thanks!

You have to remove vacuum line from the distributor and plug or timing won't be right. Also, check rubber valve cover gasket seals and oil gallery cover beneath intake. If they leak, it's a vacuum leak and engine will never run right. Good luck!
