I tried the olive leaf tea for the first time today and it was good with a slice of lemon. I've only used quite young tender leaves. It had a lovely olivey smell and a herby taste. I don't like 'real' tea, so it's good for me. And it is said to help prevent colds and flu and lower blood pressure, but I can't vouch for that. I envy you your olive grove - it's my dream, but I only have two small trees. Glad to hear you're getting better.chaiselonguehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11372135992072231446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-651314260700563624.post-12787471795184204722009-11-24T16:49:23.472+01:002009-11-24T16:49:23.472+01:00Thanks for your good wishes everyone. yes Jenn, a...Thanks for your good wishes everyone. yes Jenn, a piece of Bamboo. It was in there for 3 months!, most unpleasant, but as I say I didn't get to keep it. The whole story is described on the 21st August post (http://pathtoselfsufficiency.blogspot.com/2009/08/bamboo-harder-than-bones.html). I didn't realise imediately what happened, nor did the hospital at the time.<br /><br />I'm trying to take it easy, but the olives need doing otherwise they'll spoil before we can turn them to oil.Heikohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17999245793961798308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-651314260700563624.post-68889410671846322362009-11-23T20:45:48.316+01:002009-11-23T20:45:48.316+01:00Lovely photos of the herbs.

Don't work too hard, the plants will grow back but not your arm!

This the first time I have ever heard him but it is very nice. Thanks for sharing the link.<br /><br />It is really neat how may wild edibles grow in your area. Just the other day I was tending to our salad burnett, which holds up extremely well in the cold, and wondering if it would ever naturalize beyond our garden.<br /><br />Please be careful swinging about in those trees! The olive grove must be looking fabulous compared to how you originally described it.Mr. H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04576034751522467377noreply@blogger.com
