I love them, especially green ones. I’ve seen bushes advertised in gardening catalogues but I suspect I’d get approx one olive for every £1 spent. Also, I don’t know what you do with olives from a bush. I have a feeling there’s a lot of work to be done before you can actually eat them. Does anyone know?

I think I'm going to hang on and wait and see how Legs gets on with hers. If she ends up with a 'harvest' of 3-4 olives :roll: I'll probably continue to get mine from the deli. If it looks worth a go I might buy a plant.
I think.....I would buy one anyway and see what happens
:shock: Good grief grapes are just the uninteresting larval stage of wine.
Olives could probably be grown here in the South or in a poly tunnel they need to be kept dry.
If the climate change brigade are correct then we will all be able to grow them.
I love olives too and in today's financial market you can purchase the less expensive olives in brine, drain them and then drizzle with olive oil, yumster or drain them place in a jar with garlic and olive oil and wait for a week or so, double yumster but only if you like olives it has to be said.
Dreamdaisy it seems you have prevented me from posting, thank you for the compliment please see above. ^^^^
What :shock: ? Who told you that :shock:? I thought there was a 60 year limit. For years I've been planning my 75th birthday - the white water rafting, abseiling down the Empire State Building and opening the bowling for England.
Misscreant, I’m devastated
I don't like 'em much. I've tried really hard honestly
My youngest adores them and eats them happily from the jar.
Maybe the idea on the olive trees is that the leaves are pretty??? :?

Frog, I think olives are in the Marmite class of foodstuffs - you either do or you don't. DD
Umm it's a bit of a bugger isn't it, having said that I did read an article yesterday about a wonder seaweed which may help with the pain of arthritis.
Dreamdaisy I did mean that we clashed. I am going to have to change my avatar as I keep thinking that I am someone else which is scary as it might mean that I have a split personality. :?
