RE: Romancing The Olive: Plus, Iced Olive Leaf Tea

Every summer we get weevils which like to chomp on any plant they can find, including the olives. It seems like all our olives leaves have decorated lacy edges to them now. I wish they were a bit more repelled by the olive's leaves.

I'm not a fan of olives, only the oil, but our two little trees aren't going to produce enough for that. So thank you for the knowledge that I can try a tea from them, if I can ever get any leaves before the weevils.

Weevils! That's a bugger!!! So the olive's insect repelling qualities are not too brilliant against weevils then! Grrr.

YOU DON'T LIKE OLIVES??? ARE YOU CRAZY!!

If you come across an olive grove, definitely pinch some leaves - they really are medicinal goodness!
