    What we wouldn't do to have olive trees... That's great!

      They're growing so well! I think realising what we can grow in this climate that others can't has helped us appreciate our homestead even more. Sure they'll always be things that we'd love to be able to grow but can't... but we we're definitely appreciating what we can grow a lot more from being part of the youtube homesteading community.

    Figs will also do well too . Hubby and I are on our way with our 2 hectares of heaven. 100 acres would be fantastic if we were in our 40s or younger. Looking forward to seeing the rest of yr vids.👍🇦🇺

    Love the idea of using the orange flags!! We’ll have to steal that idea!!
    Olive trees seem to be really hardy. We’ve neglected ours a bit and they just keep going!

      We ended up finding some from an irrigation place 👍 might do an update on the olive grove as it’s really taken off this year. Sad seeing old Charger tho, he’s no longer with us and his resting place is the olive grove ❤

    Love it.
    I can’t wait to have my own olive grove.
    My husband thinks I’m nuts cause we all hate olives.
    But like I tell him I can can them for his mother for Xmas every year. Plus I really want them for oil anyway.
    Plus they really are gorgeous trees.

      That’s so funny! I (Amanda) hate olives too but Love having olive trees. Definitely plan to do olive oil in the future and this year Corey preserved our first small olive harvest for his eating pleasure🤢

      See I love that. I figure if we get them asap. Then I can preserve what little we get for my mother in law. Until they are growing enough to be able to make our own oil.
      We used to live near Orange and Bathurst NSW. So many olive groves and they were so beautiful.
      I really miss the few neighbours yards that had small plantations of them.

      Funnily enough neither of us like pickles either. First thing when I started to can was you won’t expect me to eat pickles now will you.
      I was like no I’ll only can food we both like.
      He said ok then.
      I recently found the recipe for home made Mac sauce and now he is like. This year you need to have at least 10-20 cucumber plants so we can have pickles so we can have Mac sauce whenever we want it 😂
