[Sca-cooks] Olives

[Mark Hendershott]

About three weeks ago I asked about curing olives.  Several helpful suggestions for which I thank you all.

Mother nature fixed the issue for this year.  I had not picked the crop because I wanted ripe olives.  A freeze with temperatures down to 13 degrees destroyed the olives on the tree.  The tree is OK I think.

Several commercial groves have been planted in Western Oregon in recent years.  I think the message is to make oil or green olives.

Glad Yule to all
