Olives are one thing I haven't tried to eat this year. I tried in past years and gave up in frustration at the immense amount of salt required to extract the tannins. There must be an alternative method, but I culdn't find out what it was.
I think everything else I listed I tried, or more than tried. Most of the fruits went to waste because of current economics vs. time. I can't eat all the apples (but I'm trying). Persimmons I just started picking today. In a few weeks the Pomegranates should be ready. The new citrus crop should be ready by Dec-Jan. Feb-March will bring apricots again.
The year round spacing worked out better than expected. I suspect (but am in no hurry to find out) that I could feed myself and a few others year round if I can just keep everything alive. Permaculture!
I'd also like to make proper use of the huge geenhouse, I didn't do anything with that this year, but a few things grew year-round.
