26/11/2011 3 Comments The magic olive treeWe had heard stories last year from Wiltrud about the amazing olive tree with huge olives that she found. And the story got bigger with the telling. But this year, at an undisclosed location, we found the legendary tree with the 4 cm. olives. These are untouched photos, attesting to the size of these beauties. It took four us us just to pick one up. OK, not that big, but still... We'll be packing these babies in rock salt and eating them on the first day of picking next year.
Meanwhile the picking is going great, with a week to go. Then we'll be pruning, cutting up brush, andspreading compost.
