Almonds in bloom

[Charley Lillard]

Now for the allergies.

[mssl72]

Beautiful! Nice spread!!

[JRSully]

Did you buy an Airplane Charlie.? lol

[Billohio]

That is beautiful. Does it have any smell? I was just looking at ordering some almond butter

[A12pilot]

Airplane? Do you need a pilot? I could do double-work: restore your projects then fly you to all those exotic places and let you pay for it!:biggthumpup:

That’s beautiful. Reminds me of the a cherry Blossoms in DC without all the political garbage.:rolleyes2:

Cheers

[Charley Lillard]

That is me in the red shirt piloting the drone. This will be my fourth crop. Last years got wiped out by a frost.

[scuncio]

Wow, very beautiful.

[CamaroNOS]

The fenced off rectangle area to the right of the orchard, is that where we are going to have this years 3 day swap meet?

VERY nice spread Charley.

Lotta protein!

[Charley Lillard]

If I start eating right and exercising I might live long enough to get my investment back. At this rate it is not going to happen.

[Xplantdad]

Wow! Your trees grew really fast.




Looks awesome :biggthumpup:

[Charley Lillard]

I can just barely smell them.

[Crush]

That’s really cool!

[BJCHEV396]

Do you have enough bees to pollinate Charley or do you truck the hives in?Good luck with this year's crop!

[Charley Lillard]

A local Company brings hives in for pollination. Costs several thousand each year.

[Z282NV]

You definelty have a green thumb for agriculture as well as all things automotive Charley.:biggthumpup:

[Charley Lillard]

Hives.

[Xplantdad]

I remember when you put the trees it! Wow....:biggthumpup:

[Keith Seymore]

A local Company brings hives in for pollination. Costs several thousand each year.

They certainly seem busy.

I am minutes away from finishing up our 10 boxes and 100 frames for this year.

[BJCHEV396]

We'll be in trouble if the bees keep dying at the rate that they are.

[Mr70]

I have seen where the shakers have a net that opens up and catches the nuts. Suprized they let them go on the ground

[Mr70]

@ the 2:57 mark of Vid 2,he says they want to let them dry out on the ground for awhile first.

Yep saw that. What I remember is the machine catches them and then dumps them on large tables where they dry and are separated. No doubt there is a reason for their methods.

[WILMASBOYL78]

Charley...

Beautiful layout...Karen wants to know if you have horses??

[Charley Lillard]

I don't but Shirley does :-)

[WILMASBOYL78]

Karen loves horses and has worked with several rescue places and therapy riding for veterans...

If you don't mind sharing a few photos it would be appreciated.

Beautiful place Charlie.

I flew into SAC today from Spokane and had a nice view of the Swollen Sacramento River. You guys sure have the water right now. These photos are from just west of the river and airport.

[ORIGLS6]

Nice crop Charley, but it's hardly the first time you've been surrounded by nuts! :grin:

[Charley Lillard]

Woj. That is the bypass. They open weir's on the river and dump the excess water into it to prevent the river from overflowing.

[Xplantdad]

Wow!
