Olive Pickin’

Sticking with the home-grown, goin'-up-the-country kinda theme at my house, we were only too happy to see the olive trees finally bear fruit.

So we picked 'em (the first batch of ripe ones, that is – black gold, texas tea, blah blah), and now are in the process of picklin' 'em……..

The net is to keep the cockatoos off of them trees.

Also handy for keepin' kids in when they's been botherin' you.

Seems it's quite a lengthy and involved process, where things can go wrong.

This is the first batch, the second is still ripening on the trees, so I will keep you posted on the eventual outcome – which I think is still a month or so down the track.

Yum!
