As summer finally begins to release us from its oven-like grip, we can see that the upcoming harvest should be a good one.  Already the Shimlali olives, which always ripen early, are beginning to turn from green to purple.  The Barnea and Nabali trees are laden with fruit. In fact, some branches have snapped under the weight of the olives. 
Still lots to do,  keeping the trees weeded and watered.  Some of the trees still need to have the suckers pruned from the base of the trees.  Can't wait for the harvest to begin in mid-late October.
