Our two almond trees, planted this spring, have a few nuts on them. I
tasted fresh almonds once only, in Crete and I'm hoping ours will taste as
wonderful. Does anyone have experience of this or will they not ripen in
English weather?

And nuts to you!(:-)

But seriously, I would not have imagined almonds growing here!

But they do! When I was a boy I can remember walking along a road to
school which was lined with almond trees. In the season we would
"scrump" the almonds and eat them.
