Ive been hacking down the spiky weeds, they are vicious.
Olive picking soon, but of a chore but the oil is worth it.

Do you send the olives to B processed?  What 'spiky weeds' ?

The hollyhocks growing ready to flower next year are flowering    - large yellow flowers which attract the bees .  A long Autumn makes for a short Winter ;-)

Spiky weeds, don’t know what they are called but they are tall & have vicious spiky balls all over them. Worse for the dogs but stick to any & all clothing.
Yes we take the olives to the local co op. Usually around Xmas but might be earlier this year the trees are heavy with them.

How many olive trees do you own?

Just a garden full, about 20. Not all in fruit this year.

That's a garden full - how large the plot?  Ours is never big enough until it's time to dig it over

😂 👍🏻
About 3000m2 Way to big for me, I enjoy regular gardening not so keen on the rotavating.

Might I suggest a couple of goats ;-) 🐐 s .........

Or allowing areas to become wild though that requires a certain amount of work.

Believe me we do have some wild bits 😂
Nice idea, I’d like to have some chickens, but
no more animals as we like to get away from time to time, the dogs come with us.

I may had said already that 1 of next year's hollyhocks is flowering

Since the snow/frost disappeared I can see a large hellebore in full flower - white, as well as snow drops peeping through in the green.  Polyanthes seem to have survived, some plants however are gross - no chance of pulling those up without thick gloves!  I can see a label in one border, the plant seems to have disappeared completely 

A butterfly was about yesterday, flying so fast I couldn't identify it.

Bought a large pot to stand by front door, large bag of compost ; daff bulbs in 

[C.C.]

The ground is frozen solid for now. Next week it'll be a different story and I'll be dealing with the wet and muddy.

You don't plant daffodil bulbs in the fall?

[CLKD]

Yep.  Anytime after September, Tulips can be set as late as November/December. It's Winter here ;-).  Spring arrives in March.

Can't wait to garden again! Now I have to order flowers for celebrations on https://myexpressflowers.co.uk/. I like to grow them more, and also some vegetables that can be eaten right away.
