There was a banner crop of Jojoba nuts this year. This shot from yesterday shows how they eventually end up on the ground. As the shell dries, it curls and the nuts literally fall out of their shells.

I really enjoy eating them and when I read they have a much longer shelf life than regular nuts, I decided to do some harvesting. Donning my big hat, Chris said I looked like Juan Valdez picking coffee beans 🙂 I found directions for roasting them which worked well and they taste even better roasted.
