Sorry you lost the berries. I had a couple of blueberry bushes, in pots, and they had berries on them, I was so excited to have some, came home from work one day and they were gone, picked clean. Dang birds! (though I'm pretty sure it wasn't peacocks, being in downtown Houston, LOL!).1st Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04861609647607912193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552387675026716797.post-61543503133268807922012-06-10T13:23:17.992-05:002012-06-10T13:23:17.992-05:00I'm seriously thinking that would be pretty ne...I'm seriously thinking that would be pretty neat. I think of other things, like some random fruit trees lining the driveway as well Still, the better choice is probably something similar and unusual, like the olive trees. Plus if they are all the same type of tree, it's easier to care for them. And who knows, maybe enough olive trees for our own olive oil SOMEDAY, ha. <br /><br />No recipes yet, or plans, still figuring out how/when to harvest them. :-)1st Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04861609647607912193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552387675026716797.post-74361689552602923062012-06-10T13:19:25.791-05:002012-06-10T13:19:25.791-05:00Yep, I think I might have to start a 'share th...Yep, I think I might have to start a 'share the olives' list (when we get more trees of course, I'm sure y'all don't want 3 olives each, lol). Yeah, I'm wanting to learn the whole process of harvesting them so I'll save the transplanting until Fall. Of course, if I can find some trees before then, I'll get them along the driveway.

I'd love to have your cherries, but those don't grow down here, ha.
