nice!!

I thought kalamata was a variety...I need to watch the vid

Anyway you reminded me that we had olive trees planted all over in bakersfield. The city used them as ornamental trees. So I would go around and pick the olives, I could get as many as I wanted. I learned how to brine them and store them in olive oil some Just in brine, and I think I even did some salted. I miss having those. I kind of thought of it as a self-sufficiency thing, I’m sure olives are survival food...

“The city used them as ornamental trees.”


I am SURPRISED they did that. Where did they actually plant them?

In San Jose, CA they planted OLEANDER bushes in the DIVIDERS along the freeways etc. AFTER many years they REMOVED them because the birds were eating the berries from them. Getting DRUNK and flying into the cars.
