Olives go into jars and the brine is poured in to cover them.<br />Here is a link for various methods, although we didn't slice up the olives as we did that last year and maybe they were in water too long but they just went soggy and we had to throw them out.<br />http://www.wikihow.com/Cure-OlivesSamihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06467163627586022816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1858901934141711052.post-15703779122195697532017-05-24T16:08:30.043+08:002017-05-24T16:08:30.043+08:00Thanks Jan, it's nice to have some fruit and v...Thanks Jan, it's nice to have some fruit and veggies in our garden and we don't treat them with chemicals which is even better.Samihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06467163627586022816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1858901934141711052.post-75035397774403110822017-05-24T16:07:47.043+08:002017-05-24T16:07:47.043+08:00Thanks Wren.

You have such a wonderful and lovely place to live. Looks like you have a great view from your front yard, too. I'm in awe of all the work you got accomplished and I was more than impressed with the fact the city picks up your trees, limbs, etc. twice a year. You are so lucky. I will have to find a place to take the tree I just cut down.Bleubeard and Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10149710375520733752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1858901934141711052.post-68862962310058979372017-05-20T12:23:38.694+08:002017-05-20T12:23:38.694+08:00Thanks Grace, yes a wet weekend ahead.

That is the bonus if you are near the ocean, it has such a softening influence. We are more like an inland climate, two hours away from the ocean.<br />At least you got some pomegranate fruits. Guess they do need lots of water in the time they are setting and developing!<br />One of our cats is always near you when walking or working in the garden. Most like to lounge around and just be lazy!<br />This Saturday is our garden tour and as I had planned on doing some tidying up and weeding, I cannot do anything. A week ago I had severe leg cramps at night, jumped out of bed and must have sprained my right ankle. Not much of a problem than but after I biked 16 km on Wednesday, next day it was so hot and swollen. Well, my patience is very thin and I thought I'd rested enough when I felt better yesterday and got up at 7:00 AM. Vacuum cleaning and on my legs a lot, also biking again, not that far though. Today is another bad day and no way I can squat down to do some weeding.<br />Such is life... We all plan things but always something unexpected is surprising us!<br />You got a lovely garden at least and the bonus is that it literally is fruitful!<br />Hugs,<br />MarietteMariette VandenMunckhof-Vedderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16877699174880945452noreply@blogger.com
