This is a picture taken by Rajan of me just before going cashew picking.
We should be in the middle of cashew picking but it is a very slow start. One or two trees have given quite a lot but most of them don't seem to have started making nuts yet. Rajan says it is the same everywhere and might be something to do with the heat and dryness. We have one tree where there are lots of nuts but they and the fruit in particular, are quite small. So maybe it is the dryness.
Its a very insect ridden job as I have to rootle around under the trees picking up the nuts where there are always lots of ants around. Then it is often a sticky job separating the nut from the fruit.
