Penelope said… - I'm glad to hear that you are doing well. Your greenhouse sounds wonderful. We've had a pretty cold spring so far, even a few snowflakes this week! My root crops and peas are in and growing a bit, although stray cats dug up half of two rows. Annoying! My daughter and her family are going to a conference in Crete at the end of May; they're really excited. Take good care, happy spring, Penelope

Looking forward to hearing from you,

In winters we do have lots of frost and sometimes heavey hailstroms. Our city Islamabad is located at the foot hills of Marghalla and Murree hills where heavey snow fall takes place during winters.
This is the period full of challenges, saving off season veges in a tunnel, such as tomattoes, chillis and eggplants is quite a difficult thing, but i do enjoy.

- Hi well İ have been here now for 4 years. Shame about your oranges. The turks grow lots of olives and İ have picked them, sorted them and then pickled them. What they seem to do here is to cut each olive and then soak them in water changing that water every day for about 1 month. After that period of time most of the bitterness should have left and then you can put into a brine solution. You can add lemon or other flavors if you want and they store like that for along time. You can also place the olives under a layer of salt and as the salt disolves keep topping it up. You do that for about a month also. İts easy to do and worthwhile. Good luck with your harvest.
