Mustard and almond are important cash crops in the Valley. As bright sunshine bathes the region after a harsh and bleak winter, blue skies and cheerful weather approach and new blooms like almonds, peaches, pears, cherries and the bright yellow mustard flowers paint a riot of colours on nature’s canvas, lending freshness to the air and a sweet fragrance — signaling the arrival of spring.
