Fruits and weeds

At the beginning of April the olive trees were full of blossom. Now 6 weeks later in mid-May 2020, fruiting has started and can already be seen clearly.

The mild weather of March was interspersed with heavy downpours so that the trees had a chance to absorb all the rainwater and the olives could grow. The olives are now a quarter to a half inch in size. This promises to be a wonderful harvest!

Not only the olive trees benefit from this growing weather, the weeds also made good use of all this water. So back to work with the cultivator, hoe and rake. After putting everything together, it was time for a small bonfire.
