Almonds

I have two Almond trees - at least I think they are almonds (they are either almonds or very green wizened apricots!)- I don't know if they are ornamental or edible. They are sitting in the front drive, so I suspect the former.

The question is, when do I pick them? When they all fall off? When the branches touch the ground (not long now, if that's the case)?

Then what? do I peel them or wait for the flesh to dry?

I LOVE living in France: everyday is such a voyage of discovery !

PS : I've just thrown my Mairie into confusion by asking if I can fill my little surface-mounted swimming pool from the well. The Secretary has gone back to ask, but since putting the question, I've read the various threads on here and decided it would be a thoroughly antisocial action, even if they say "yes". So I'm planning to surround it with miles of tarps and catch what little rain we do get and pump it in. It will be interesting to see how long it takes!
