Garden Journal in August: Hard work in the garden with the rebel and the old man.

Greetings to all gardening lovers, today I am here in this beautiful community of Hive Garden Hive Garden to write to you about the update of some crops that I have in my house.
Most of my plants are Succulents and medicinal herbs, although there are a few that bear edible fruits. I will detail what they are below.

Rebel Tomato

Here in my country Chile, we are in the middle of winter so tomatoes are supposed to be grown from October to March, because of the frost it is impossible for them to proliferate at this time, unless it is in a greenhouse with the right conditions for them. But it turns out that I have a rather rebellious plant that is in the total exterior, after it gave its fruits months ago and we pruned it, it emerged again to delight me with some small tomatoes that peek between its branches.

It still has more flowers to set, we will see if it finishes its cycle before its time because I have plants of other species such as Succulents that have burned their leaves because of the horrible frosts here. Last week heavy rains lashed the city for several days and people are not supposed to be used to that, imagine the poor plants.

An ancient and large olive tree

This olive tree is quite old, it has existed since the house belonged to my grandparents, so it is twice my age, more or less 65 years with us.
Its branches have grown quite a bit as it is difficult to prune it because of its large size, I try to do what I can to maintain it.

As you can see in the photos it is loaded with olives, this weekend we will pick some with my father.
I am afraid of heights so I try to pick the ones from the lower branches.

I swear that when we do the whole curing process they are delicious, but for now we have to wait a little bit to enjoy them. But the wait is worth it, because it is very different to eat olives made with your own hands.

Spearmint

I cannot forget my beautiful Spearmint, it does not bear fruit but it is a wonderful plant to enjoy as an infusion after meals. Its leaves are quite healthy.

Well that's all for now, I had no idea this community existed and by chance I stumbled upon @riverflows post.
Thanks for giving me the opportunity to write about these beauties :)
