Farm Report August 10

The crows and magpies have eaten most of my almonds. The tree is much larger than an orchard tree, and impossible to net. A real farmer would have replaced it years ago. So all my spraying and watering has come to naught. I'll think on this situation, and do some internet reading, and perhaps come up with a solution for next year. One thought is that I might be able to prune it down to a more manageable size, and then net it.

I'll get a good lemon crop this year, so that's some consolation.
