In Doy’s garden

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

Green olives are picked before they ripen and cured in brine, often cracked or slit and flavoured with lemon, chilli or herbs. They are a fixture of the Turkish breakfast table and of meze spreads.

Stuffed olives and olives kept in oil carry a little more, and sizes vary, so counting pieces helps.
