    Definitely a baby fig: the leaf buds are pointed, not round. The first crop is known in English as the "breba" crop (name is from Italian) and grows on old wood in spring, the main crop is usually (depends on variety and growing conditions) the summer crop, which develops on new green growth and ripens in late summer or autumn. Centipedes can be your allies in the garden: like spiders, they are predators and will keep other invertebrates in check. I never kill them.

    • @tonynunes4965
      @tonynunes4965 Рік тому +4

      PS the chipped olive branches and leaves can also make good mulch for paths (to keep mud down) and gardens (to help retain moisture). Lots of chipped or mulched materials are good for that, but some are not if they contain lots of seeds for example, which olive branches and leaves will not. You could also mow your meadows with a catch bag (or rake after mowing) and compost the mowed material: it sort of achieves the same as grazing animals producing compost / dung.

    • @LifebyLiving
      @LifebyLiving  Рік тому +2

      No we don’t kill them either. Just relocate away from the house. We had thought about mulch for pathways but upon a bit of research turns out that they’re a huge fire risk so we’re not going to risk it

      @lizschultz1 Рік тому +4

      I live in a climate the same as yours but in Australia - high 30s and 40s in summer and with eucalypts all around. Fantastic you bought a chipper - I absolutely hate the idea of burning from an environmental point of view, but also a waste of such useful product. But olive branch chips will take a very long time to break down for compost - definitely best to use as a mulch between your beds and around fruit trees and will eventually break down and feed tge soil. Mulch won't pose a fire hazard unless fire is already on your property - so it would be the least of your worries. Maybe chip the branches separately for mulch and then chip the leafy tops for composting?

    What do you think?
    How are you going to handle your olive crop?
    Do you sell it to a processor? Or what?

    I’ve made a basket with dogwood sticks. I softened them by flexing them over my knee so they curved more easily. Soaking them made them sprout in my case!

    Hi Victoria and Ricky, and all the animals , from here in Thailand I know it’s too late, but I would have taken your little centipede, put it in the car and drove it to the closest national park. Here on our little farm the centipedes are double that size, and one bit my wife while she was working in her garden. She spent the night in the hospital. Even one that size can cause you harm. All the locals here carry a machete , and you can guess what happens when they find one.

    Just a Note for your fig tree……as the leaves start to emerge, use your thumb nail to take off the growing shoot end and you will have twice as much yield in fruit. Tried this last year and the branches overflowed with figs. This lets the tree concentrate on making figs rather than leaf production.

    If you soak the branches for a few days in water, it will make them far more flexible for you to use and less likely to break.
    Do not give up, try it again if you have not already. 🤗

    How great to have water at your lovely vegie patch, but given the natural gravity flow from your supply tank, wouldn't it be more practical to have put a tap at the greenhouse on the end of the poly pipe? With enough pressure you could even connect a garden hose and not have to keep filling watering cans. It would also eliminate the need to keep refilling the ICB.
    PS: the evening noise is probably cicadas - similar to crickets

  • @danielmcneil3004
    @danielmcneil3004 Рік тому +7

    Just an observation regarding the brass tap on the water tank. General rule of thumb when installing Teflon/thread tape is to wrap in a clockwise direction as you look at the end of the thread. Which is the typical direction of the fitting being attached. I think the video showed you wrapping counterclockwise. May work fine. Just a thought. Cheers, Dan ✌️🇨🇦

    Your arm gesture reminds me of a character that used to be so proud of his muscles?? And would flex and say.. the bathroom is that way?? Maybe from SNL?

    You can make a tea out of those olive leaves, full of antioxidants

    My rather cheap chipper is still going great after 4 years of shredding up hibiscus, guava, etc. I learned not to put too many green leafy bits in at one time, but your olive branches seem drier so I guess it doesn't clog up as much. We also have centipedes here so I'm always careful to wear gardening gloves and rubber boots when digging. Be careful in picking up rocks and pots at this time of year because you might disturb a nest. PS: Yes, Ricky, your 'salt' was clear enough 😁

      The olive leaves clog it up too when you push too many through. After a while on it you definitely get a feel for the limits that you can push it to! We always sport gloves when picking up stones etc as I know they often bite when they feel their habitat is under attack. Yet to be bitten & want to keep it that way! 😁

    Try to leave the sticks submerged in water for one day, afterwards they should be more flexible

    Ah I love it. Good effort! Spring is here and a lot of sorting to do. Smashed it as always. Such a genuine couple. Always a pleasure to watch. Keep doing what you are doing 😃👊🏼
