Never enough rain, then too much, and always at the wrong time! I managed to get some garlic in on Monday afternoon but only about a dozen cloves so will need to plant some more.Ailsahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01389195114965295899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7556350471063345057.post-1766823736320336252014-07-09T12:06:04.538+12:002014-07-09T12:06:04.538+12:00Thanks Bek.

It has just been too wet here. I usually like to harvest when it is dry, but no luck on that.

I do know that almonds do not like frosts and you can suffer badly with a late frost when the blossom is on the tree. I have two different hazelnuts, both approximately 2 metres tall and about 2 metres wide if that helps.Ailsahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01389195114965295899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7556350471063345057.post-5306863987125240772014-07-07T14:17:30.088+12:002014-07-07T14:17:30.088+12:00Really interested to see your almond and hazelnut ...Really interested to see your almond and hazelnut trees. What beautiful catkins! I'm about to plant a few myself in a small Nuttery (almonds and hazelnuts) in my paddock. Can you recommend any particularly good varieties?
