My financial plan of relying entirely on my olive harvest was genius.

I’ll bet that’s enough. It’ll be fine, everything is fine

Similar to my lemon harvest - tons of blooms, no lemons. 😡life couldn’t even give me lemons.

Try a Bearr Lime tree, they seem less finicky than my Meyer Lemon.

Have you seen the price of Olive Oil? You could be retiring soon! Probably only need 5 more. 🤭

Confuscious may have said something along the lines of “small things are just big things small” or something like that. 🥴🤣

Whoa wait what - you’re going to harvest, cure or brine or press, and then store the product by yourself? Thats hell of a one man project.

The olive tree is large now. So healthy and huge. Finally starting to produce olives….Maybe 24 of them…..After 10 years. Progress. Eventually I would brine them but not until o get more than a handful. I’m patient.

The literature that came with my tiny starter olive tree said it will be at least 10 years before it starts producing olives. So, yay, you! (The second summer, after mine had gained about 2 inches, squirrels dug mine up and broke it. 😢)

Better than my tomato crop, although it was better than last year! AND surprisingly two of last years plants[both were cherry tomato]managed to re-seed themselves & are covered some turning colour. I shall hope for a warm September or it will be more green tomato chutney!!🐱

Stop the kakistocracy! @richardcarkeek.bsky.social

Here in the Pacific NW, it's impossible. I blame book, "Olives, life and lore of a noble fruit" for this fash.
