This year the olive picking started earlier than usually end October instead of November..
Nice black olives for eating, "Secret Garden" guests will have a chance to taste them during the summer period of 2015 I am making these for you guys, usually they end up with the rest of the bunch in the olive oil tank.
A helping hand is always welcome... and Platonas is doing
his best. 94 trees , take out around 6 that have none...
it looks like it will take as a couple of weeks.
little piles of olives waiting to be cleaned of their leaves and branches ,and put in sacks!
it is a pleasurable
experience...
.
...... but sometimes you feel like
you can't see the end of it.
Monkey on the tree.
Pruning in my own unorthodox way!
and God forbid anyone touches the trees I have "trimmed"
in my own loving way!!
more olives...waiting to go through the "red machine"
.
Christo filling the bucket,
I am so enjoying this thing, saving us what in the old days was done by sitting around the pile of olives picking the leaves and gossiping the time away!
now we can spend that time under a tree eating
and making jokes.
At the olive press
the lift
the washer
the wait
The squasher
The OIL!!!!!
Interested in living this experience in combination with a holiday on Paros , contact me by mail: secretgardenparos@yahoo.gr for more details
