The olive trees in the parking lot at the corner of Sixth and East Streets are bearing fruit now. Be careful where you walk. I wonder if anyone gathers the olives.
Speaking of olives, the third annual San Benito Olive Festival is a month away—Saturday, October 17, 2015 at Bolado Park. Our county's fun, foodie event features olive oils, chocolates, Blenheim apricots, wines, and other products that are grown and produced in our area. To see the growing list of participants, check out this page at the San Benito Olive Festival website.
Olives! I don't remember the last time I actually saw an olive tree . . . . beautiful.
ReplyDeleteWhoops. I missed your comment, G. Sorry. Until the olive festival three years ago, I had no idea there were quite a few olive groves in our county.
