Quality and a pretty good quantity although I see your sums don't add up to last years harvest!! Do you think the lack of rain over last winter had any bearing on this? Well done, all that hard work has surely paid off! The liquid gold looks wonderful! Love the pictures and the Tabblo too!

Thanks Chilla! In fact we made more oil overall than last year but it took a lot more biomass. If we'd had the same yield as last year we would have more than doubled the amount of oil. Given the good health of the plants and increased biomass I think several environmental factors may have contributed - such as low winter rain and no intense heatwaves and increased summer humidity. Every year is different!
