I wonder if you could become a trial/test garden for that new strain of Spinosad they’ve developed for the olive fruit fly? Wonder if your AG Dept or even the UC can connect you to the folks who’re testing it? It’s pbly meant more for large scale farms, especially to increase organic production, but it might become available to home growers eventually. You have way more patience than I do! I commend you for doing this process. It’s not for everyone for sure. It’s definitely great info for all of us to have. Thanks so much for taking the time to also film this w/everything else you had to do!
Nia? Can you reply? I have not had a chance to look into that spinosad.
mrSuperfree // You can keep them on the shelf, few tips for better preserving, use coarse salt and not powder salt to prevent the olives from wearing out, add at least one piece of chili pepper to the jar to prevent maggots creation if preserving for a year or longer, you can keep them for 2 to 3 years. that is how we can green olives in Lebanon.
How fascinating! It is so important to know not only how to grow food, but how to preserve that harvest. Growing is fun, harvest and preserving are where the real work begins. It seems few folks anymore know how their food is actually made/grown and processed/preserved. It's a labor intensive labor of love, but so worth it. Looking forward to updates! Another great episode ❤
Thank you, Angie! Behind on responding.
That's so fascinating! Bugs are something that's inevitable with gardening & edible plants. I hope they turn out great for you!
I will have to be very patient to find out! Thanks for watching! I'm doing a smaller batch now, but the maggots don't want to come out, so I'm letting them soak in water.
@@Latebloomershow I hope those pesky little boogers come out for you!
Good for you for persevering through and not letting something as small as thousand maggots deter you!
Great job!
Yes, there was a time when I would not have been able to handle that. But, 6 years of gardening changes you. haha. Thanks for watching!!
Hi Kaye I loved your video as they say you learn something new everyday I absolutely love OLIVES of any kind!!
I had no idea the amount of labour and time that growers put into them absolutely daunting!!
Can't wait for an update in the months to come thanks as as always I will be watching your videos thank you 😍😍
Thank you so much, Ana! Comments like this keep me going. Please share, though, I must grow or go. :)
Hi Kaye, you have great knowledge of brining Olives. Cheers Patrick xx
Well, I read a couple of blogs is all. Someone just wrote that I need to change the salt water. It didn't say that in the blog I read.
This is a real endeavor. What a surprise to get an olive tree when you were not shopping for one. I just watered beneficial nematodes in the lawn, Scanmask that I got from Amazon. My objective is to have far fewer June bugs. I saw white grubs in the lawn last week when I was planting oats.
This is brilliant! I can't tell you how much I love this! All the imperfections, and issues, it's just like me. It's SO helpful not to hear how perfect I have to be. Seriously, people would have starved if they really had to be that picky.
This was awesome. I had no idea how olives were prepared. Great video.
Thank you, Didi! I tried the water method the first year when I only had about 12 olives, all perfect (presumably before the olive fruit fly felt it worthwhile to make camp here) but you have to change the water daily. And that's a burden, especially with all the trips I make.
It is amazing what we can get used too when processing our food, that was fascinating
Thank you, Brian! We harvested nearly the last of them yesterday, and as I don't have enough to warrant investigating how to make them into oil, I will brine them as well.
I would think large amount of equipment for making oil.maybe you could find a local olive oil maker that could do it for you either that was an experience to watch
I'm hoping for that next year. Fingers crossed.
Omg how did you brave your way through the maggotry?!
We found a feral olive grove from 1890s, and so far, no worms at all. Now I feel like it's even more of a special, "secret garden" of my very own.
Thanks for a very informative video!
I have to say that I sure hope you enjoy the olives...looks very labor intense. I've had trouble with fruit flies all summer and I don't have an olive tree....there's a pest for everything you grow it seems. I appreciate farmers so much more.
I know! You just don't realize how much more valued farmers (also teachers) should be till you try and grow your own food.
A loot of hard work best of luck
Thank you!
Thank you for doing this its really cool getting to watch something like this
Thank you for watching and commenting! Please share with your friends! Thanks in advance!
@@Latebloomershow Im only 20 years old and been gardening for a year and half and by watching your videos I've learned so much.
Thanks so much for letting me know! I'm thrilled you find growing your own food interesting. It will be essential (whether you are in the country or the city) in the coming years to know how to grow your own food. I couldn't get my 23 year old son interested, sadly, so I'm encouraged you are!
I had a small garden when I lived on a hobby farm then when I moved across the country at the end of my sophomore year of high school I ended up taking an agriculture class my final 2 years and became a part of FFA and started gardening again
So all olives have these maggots? I’ve watched s lot of olive brining videos and this is the only one with maggots. Does it depend on the area or do ALL olives have it? Sigh 😭.
I'm excited and nervous for the taste test. God bless!
well, you have quite a wait, I'm afraid, haha. MONTHS! God bless you back!
You've given me incentive to go pick my olives here in East Texas!
Diane Coe Fantastic!!!
Hopefully, you will have perfect olives not marred by olive fruit fly maggots! And even if you do, no biggie.
Why should you not use iodized salt? Just curious as to why. Your channel is so full of useful information. I never realized how much work a garden takes.
Thank you. I don't know for sure. I know the recipe I used called for the highest quality salt, pink Himalayan. I bet you could research and ask Google why not. Thanks for watching this! I have yet to try but the first two jars.
Dear Kaye, I give you an A for bravery. Idk if I’d been able to process those maggot infested olives with my bare hands like you did. 😬
I was so intrigued at what you were doing, I couldn’t look away. Very entertaining video! 👍
Thank you so much! I really appreciate you watching and leaving this comment. I was hoping to show how it really was without turning people off. Nature is amazing. Now, if humans could just keep from spoiling it all.
Hi, saw you helping Stacy with some fermenting and talking about your olives so decided to come over and check it out. Very interesting ❤
Hello, there! Yes, my version of the fermenting on my first day is in my upload today. I hope you will watch and leave me a comment!💗
from: mrSuperfree // You can keep them on the shelf, few tips for better preserving, use coarse salt and not powder salt to prevent the olives from wearing out, add at least one piece of chili pepper to the jar to prevent maggots creation if preserving for a year or longer, you can keep them for 2 to 3 years. that is how we can green olives in Lebanon.
Thank you so much for sharing this. Although the sight of maggots is no fun, the end result I bet will be amazing 😊
I sure hope so! Thanks so much for watching!! Please share.
Kaye, I had no idea how involved it is to brine olives, fascinating and very interesting!! Looking forward to your taste testing. :-)
That will be a while, haha! Thank you, Jean! I'm leaving early tomorrow for MO, Doug and Stacy's. Wish me luck! I have uploads set to cover me being gone. xxx
I watch Doug and Stacy also, have a good trip and enjoy your time with them. :-)
Thanks, Jean, I'm working on Part 2 right now.
Curious how the olives turned out! I live in Borrego Spring Ca in the winter and just came across four wild olive trees. (FULL of ripe olives ) Last weekend I collected a large jars worth and they are brining now. No maggots though... maybe because this is the desert??? Not sure. I did slit mine on two sides. Excited to see how this all works out! And how yours turned out as well! Thanks
New to your channel OFF GRID with DOUG & STACY
sent me your way.. :") OMG now that is a lot of work .. Hopefully they turn out for you.. :")
Thank you, Angie! I'm so happy you came over! Please check out my video of my first day with them uploaded today! And leave me a comment. 💓
Love what you're doing. It's so interesting. Just a hint, whenever you brine (ferment) you need to vent your jars or at least release the gasses every day. Also, place your jars in a pan to collect any leakage. It helps with cleanup. You can use an enamel or stainless steel pan or a plastic container but I don't think an aluminum pan would be good to use. If you ever harvest sunflowers the salty brine will drive the worms out of them too. Too bad you don't have chickens or guinea fowl to eat those worms. It would be a fest for them!
*feast
Yes, I agree. Just can't keep animals here. I don't want to lock chickens in a small cage. Nowhere to let them out safely. I found this out about burping the jars the hard way, LOL. Thanks for watching!
I thoroughly enjoyed this video. I need to go buy an olive tree now. I am wondering if you taste tested them after 6 months and what you thought and did you add olive oil/vinegar or herbs. I enjoy every one of your videos. Thank you for all your hard work.
We had an olive tree when I was growing up, my dad cured them in lye.....how bad is that? He rinsed them several times before we ate them and they were good!
Patti Hayden That’s the original way they did it and I read about that along time ago and decided I didn’t want to do that because it just seem to be really hard to know what you’re doing
Hi! I'm new to your channel and LOVE your content!!! I started my first garden this year back in spring, and found that I do, in fact, have a green thumb..maybe 2! 😅👍👍 I have a question: is that a winter cactus behind you at 6:10? It looks a lot like the ones we bought last winter. We potted them in small pots, (perhaps we'll have to re-pot them😅🌱🌿,) and topped their soil with rich compost including earth worms and rolly pollies. 😅💖 They almost never need water, in fact, we haven't had to water them since adding the earth-rich topping! I should probably give them a hearty rain soon, though. How 'bout that?! I love mulch! I love how our creator made everything work with us as opposed to us working on it, changing it and such. It's like being married; never attempt to change your man, just be a good person and work with what you have until you see the fruits show up! Anywho, thank you!!!
-Your most recent big fan!
Love,

Wonderful! And welcome to my channel. That's dragon fruit, I've been told. It was the bottom of a tiny decorative grafted cactus, the top fell off and it didn't die, just started growing. I potted it up once and when one piece was near three feet long and growing, we put it in the ground. Now that piece is 15' off the ground. I haven't had a chance to do a video on it, but I'm supposed to cut it to encourage it to flower, that it takes a few years to produce fruit. Thanks so much! Yes, it's all here, everything we need, if we don't contaminate it with chemicals (which Monsanto seems determined to do).
My olive trees in the Hi-Desert north of Palm Springs do not get olive maggots. The Highland Springs lavender farm in Beaumont has olive maggots bad.
Kaye, use SEA-90 'agricultural minerals' salt available on Ebay or in 40# bags from Boogie Brew in Northern California. It is a totally natural, unrefined salt. It is not 'certified' for human consumption buy my family has used it for years.
It reminds me of the fallen mangoes that were half rotten and had worms in them.. we would use the good side of these mangoes to make mango pulp along with some good mangoes... but Yea 🐛🐛🐛 are gross 😣😫
LOL, so gross. But, such is life. I've discovered the later picked olives had virtually none, and I've deduced they have an internal clock and they all came out that first week.
add some garlic cloves and the olives leaves to th ebrine
Pen some chickens in under your grove of olives, you will never see maggots again
why not salt that is not iodised???
Eeeeeew! I don't think I'm gonna eat olives anymore. Creepy! 😝
haha, well, this is a Southern California thing, so there are many olives that wouldn't be affected by the fruit fly maggot.
Gross! I have never seen maggots in the olives from So. Cal.
The more you change the salt water. Faster it goes.
That's interesting. It didn't say anything about changing the salt water in the blog I read. But, I only read the one, haha.
@@Latebloomershow I change water every 4 days.
I'm begging you, please do not eat that!
LOLOL don't worry! I'm not into eating bugs. I've got nothing against it, though, my darling neighbor Zachary was just in Korea and ate a number of bugs!
