Olive harvest

The last time we helped Pietro to harvest his olives, there was snow on the ground, and with the steep slope of the oliveto, conditions were not very ideal.

This year Barga has had perfect conditions for the olives, and we have enjoyed the process immensely - with Italian lessons along the way!

The scene of the action - the olive trees are beyond the laden Kaki tree

The steep slope allows Barbara to crop this juvenile tree sitting down ...

We leave the tree-climbing to Pietro!
