Date-picking in Abu Dhabi
There are date palms all around the area where I work. This one caught my eye because the fruit was red... (usually they're green and turn yellow as they ripen). The heat dries them up, they shrivel and turn brown, ready for picking!

ReplyDeletelol, if only it were that easy!
ReplyDeleteNice...do they pick it after it turns brown?
ReplyDeleteI think so... actually you can get dates on stocks in the shops here (sort of like tomatoes on vines)
ReplyDeleteu also get dokay (the yellow ones) on stocks in lahore at least.. and even here !!! (UK)
