    Brilliant harvest.. It seems Diogo was a very good supervisor.
    It’s lovely to see the expat community coming together.. Laura and Dan and of course Jasper are also favourites and both being new to harvesting, they must have appreciated having your guidance..
    Sending love ❤️❤️❤️

    Well done! It certainly is hard work. I've just finished picking my olives 😊
    I'm sure you'll agree with me that, in spite of the hard work, it's lovely to be outside in the sunshine with just the sound of the birds singing. And using your own olive oil, knowing exactly where it came from, is so satisfying!
    Here's to next year's harvest ❤

Diogo and Frankie are so funny to watch, Frankie was like a stubborn teenager over not digging and I love her muddy nose lol Diogo is so sweet he always loves being right with you. Good to get to see all the cats Samao is usually camera shy. The way the wind picked up all of a sudden when you were picking the first patch of olives was incredible x

    Congrats on a great harvest! Your olives look great! I love the calm steadiness with which you approach work.
    We use the tree tickler 😂 We are harvesting for at least a couple of months and without the ticklers it would take forever. But doing it by hand is much more enjoyable.
    I am quite jealous of the lush green olive groves, we are having a really dry fall. I seem to recall a year when you had a dry and hot fall, when you were planting the Linden trees, and we had lots of rain. Now it’s the other way around. 💦🌿

    Scolding Frankie for not minding is the best. He was determined to not mind you…..😂. How can it get any better. The way you are harvesting your olives is 💯✔️you two. How many producing trees do you have? Whatever…all I see are two caring people who want to do the best for their land/trees. Just think what those smaller trees will produce in 20/25 yrs., from now.❤

      They did quite a tough test a year or two back - name ALL the animals they have, which included the hens.... I think there were 25 names to get. (With hindsight, that may have been a test only on Patreon)
      White cat = Albi
      Black cat = João
      Tabby = Simao
      Diogo/Dodo and Frankie need no introduction though we could add that Diogo is a Podengo or Portuguese hunting dog, Frankie is a Sausage dog or Dachshund
      Hens names ... pretty sure that there's a Ronaldo, and if you pick a Liverpool FC player you will probably get others ...

    It was really interesting to see the end results after having seen you doing all that pruning earlier - didn't those trees do well that had been cut back in the May 2023?? It was definitely worth experimenting to see what works best for you. The harvesting was a lot of hard work, but it really paid off in the long run, and I was so glad for you, to have achieved your end target, of being able to call your yield "EXTRA Virgil Olive Oil"!
    As others have said, it is also good to see expats joining together to help each other achieve the best results.
    In addition, it is always good to see the pets enjoying their best life!!

      When you do a rough cut you leave little new growth. Olives fruit on the growth of last year only. So a rough cut results in less kilofor at least a year, but the fruits growing bigger as well. Good for table olives😉
