At last the rains have subsided and we have bountiful sunshine which in turn means the olives are flowering. The flower buds have turned from a mid green colour to a yellowy green and are now opening.
The trees produce a significant amount of the flower and so the pollen coats everything in a fine yellow dust.
Now we wait to see how much fruit sets and then a longer wait until the harvest which is normally in late October early November.
