These are your table grapes. High temps make them sweet but harvesting is really tough work! And the air quality is abysmal as nut tree harvesting begins. Walnuts trees being shaken in Tulare County.

None when pic was taken but several have started this week. Nut tree harvesting and wildfires all contribute to poor air quality. Sometimes we’re in the top 5 across the nation. Nothing to be proud of. Oh and it’s 105 today

Wow! the dust from machinery kicking up dry soil, or, like, debris from the trees, or...? and i see in your feed that people seem to be still planting almond trees in California. I assume that's still mostly for the Chinese market-- how much total production/shipping/tariffs can it stand? lol
