The little olive tree. Η μικρή ελιά.
As the weather is getting cooler, the olives on the small tree I keep in the pot are ripening.
Όσο δροσίζει ο καιρός, οι ελιές στο δεντδράκι που έχω στην γλάστρα, ωριμάζουν.
Beautiful captures and I love olives! Hope you've had a good weekend, Costas! Thanks as always for your visits/comments, they do mean a lot to me! Have a great week!
These photos are YUMMY! We had some olive trees in Californa, but I don't remember eating the olives. I think they need a long process to make them edible, is that right? Or do you have secrets to share???
They are not good to eat yet. You have to keep them in water for a while, so the sour juices are dissolved away.. then prepare them any way you d like. Keep them in salt for a couple of days.. then add vinegar.. In olive oil.. they d last all year round.... There are many ways to prepare them.. so different tastes they d acquire according to how you process them. A real gift of nature... Costas
Hmm...Olives! Delicious, thanks for sharing the process they have to go through Costas. Love your other recent post of beautifully coloured flowers. Brilliant!
Hello Costas, To me this olive-tree is exotic, and something I only can dream of having here in the middle of Norway. I really like the photos of it:) Thanks for all nice comments from you in my blog. I appreciate it very much. Wishing you a nice evening and a lovely week.

My grandmother use to feed us her home grown olives, we LOVED them!

Beautiful photos Costas, those olives will be delicious. Thanks for describing the process they need to make them edible.
I have been away from my computer a lot over the last few weeks and have missed so much.

what a pretty tree
I love the close-up of the olives, their color is wonderful
An olive tree in a pot? Wow. The olives look so gorgeous, they look like tiny English plums. Will they be black when they're ripe?
