In Doy’s garden

Log it in Doydum and a row of aubergines sprouts in today’s bed in front of Doy’s house.

Black olives are left on the tree to ripen, then cured in salt or brine until soft and rich. Small, wrinkled Gemlik olives are the classic on a Turkish breakfast plate, next to cheese, tomatoes and bread.

Olives kept in oil and very large olives come out higher, so counting pieces gives a better estimate.
