Re: Break Out In Smiles SATURDAY@ the MSC
Here's a dirty little secret:
We inherited the olive trees. While I use olive oil, I simply dislike eating olives. Plus, once I found out how much faffing around you need to do to make them edible, I discounted that path.

Hey! You can always cook in olive oil.
If I wasn't fishing in this all day rain,I'd be home doing something stupid.

Re: Break Out In Smiles SATURDAY@ the MSC
The olives are harvested by a local artisanal olive oil maker.
In return we get a percentage of the oil. They get olives, we get some oil and the fruit is not wasted. A win all around I think.

Re: Break Out In Smiles SATURDAY@ the MSC
Was raised as a kid on spinach with vinegar also. And that was shaky at best eating that. Can’t say I eat cooked spinach as adult. Fresh spinach in salads only.bodypainter wrote: ↑June 25, 2022 8:12 pmOne of the vegetables I consumed as a kid.. It was canned in vinegar. I was an adult before I tasted straight spinach.

Re: Break Out In Smiles SATURDAY@ the MSC
I eat fresh spinach in soups or salads. Not cooked by itself.

That's perfect, absolutely a win win!
Do you have to do anything to take care of the trees throughout the year? Trim, shape, etc?

Olives, apparently, like to be treated mean to keep 'em keen as the old saying goes.tailgaitingph wrote: ↑June 26, 2022 7:10 amThat's perfect, absolutely a win win!

The older trees have been left for too long and are very tall (over 30') which makes them hard to harvest. I will need to give them a hearty prune with a chainsaw in a couple of months.
The younger ones are ok but will need shaping next year, to let more air and light in and to aid harvesting.
The team who do the harvest have offered to drop around after harvest is done to give us some instruction.
