Oh, forgot to say the pumpkins look beautiful! I really like how you do your orchards! Wish I lived closer except don’t really want to live in California.❤

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.

Thanks so much, KL, I really appreciate your comments! There are soft shell varieties and hard shell varieties of almonds. You definitely need a nut cracker for the hard shell ones.
