Our 2014 picking was a bumper crop. Good, but bodes bad for next season. Picking stretched out to 4 weekends, even with the use of a branch shaker.
First Weekend
Love the concentration.
Ladder pixie.
Don’t just look at them!
Lots and lots of olives.
Crating lots and lots of olives.
Second Weekend – Two Weeks Later
Shifting the nets.
Ladder pixie number 2.
Picking for real.
Pre-crating.
Leaf-blower 1.
Net shifter.
Tired and shagged out.
Third Weekend
And more picking.
Blondes!
Stack-man!
Stack-man and the trailer.

More and more picking.
More and more and more picking.
More sorting.
Fourth Weekend

Last cut.

Pre-lunch.
Nearly there….
The weary rest.
