08/09/10 Frost: About My Edible BackyardWhy Carlton Love's Edible Plants Front yard gets the best sun, have a huge fence up so I have used it to help protect the dwarfs. Out the back yard is 3 olives and a lemon (in a pot). More arriving shortly. I have clay soil, so I had some blended top soil bought in, some for raised garden beds that I just bought, the rest to help with the garden. The trees in the ground have had holes dug at least 4 times as deep and wide as the plants themselves. I then replaced the soil with blended top soil (manure in it). Olives variety unknown at last inspection 19-10-09 Olive H - 2.55 H x 2.8 W no sign of any buds Olive S - 2.65 H x 1.8 W small amount of flower buds Olive F - 2.6 H x 2.4 W full of flower buds

Surely I would get enough olives from two trees to supply me enough for pickling.
