Yes I have printed out some instructions on curing with only water but it didn't work and I was afraid to eat the olives and get poisoned. I will try again this year. Again thank you.

My Dad used to cure them and share them with family but some were afraid of eating them because they weren't done by factories. crazy.. they were good too. Love that your Dad lives on thru your cuttings. That is how cottage gardens took hold back when..workers for the rich bringing home cuttings to plant in their yards as it was cheaper that way. Now its the thing to do. Some of my plants in my garden now came from CA and friends here. Love the sketch and the story.

I would definitely check out the info about curing them. You can find almost anything online now. Love the drawing! Since I don't eat olives I'll take some olive oil when you start pressing your own.lolJoan Tavolotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11290923567339587417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6402833299860787322.post-14581582335531382862014-03-29T05:48:26.667-07:002014-03-29T05:48:26.667-07:00Great drawing Gloria.

I have a VéRÿ small tree from them, and I think the snails eat my bab olives before they develop! Olive leaves heave great properties as well, if my tree grows a bit, I may pick some.<br />Like yours, my dad hated having food (or anything!) go to waste, so I do my best with my various fruit trees...Nadyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00730124015853971661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6402833299860787322.post-62125689036535729202014-03-28T21:50:17.838-07:002014-03-28T21:50:17.838-07:00Gloria, today we ate out and I had a wonderful veg...Gloria, today we ate out and I had a wonderful vegan lentil patty over brown rice with a delicious avocado sauce on it. It was scrumptious. I came home wanting to make them. I went on line and found several recipes for lentil patties. I am absolutely sure you could go on line to fine out how to cure olives. Please do. It's awesome that you have these trees from shoots from your dear father's trees. He'd be so proud of you. Your iPad digital drawing is terrific! I love how those black olives glow!Lynn Cohenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12094038275377357886noreply@blogger.com
