Wow what a view. Wish I had a view like that. Like the trellis, does it hold up the toms pretty good? And what is the bushy green stuff next to it? Thanks for sharing. trudy

HI Trudy! the green stuff is going bonkers at the moment (about to seed) but it's swiss chard. I think It's been the best thing in the garden so far! more sturdy than spinach!! I hope the trellis will do the job and hold up the toms! we'll have to wait and see!! It's all an experiment at the moment! an exciting one though!!!! All the best, have a good week all of you out there!!

Thanks for the quick response, you'll have to let us know how the trellis does for you. Have a good day. T

Hi all, arent you a great bunch of people!!!!!
Olives taste really bitter from the tree, you need to soak or salt them, tried once but its a fiddle!!!! its better for us to pick and take them to the mill!!!!! maybe i'll try and send you all some!!!!!
I'm really enjoying the forum thanks to you all xx
