I am hanging on waiting for my very small crop of olives to ripen.
They are currently a yellowish green.

From http://www.eastofedenplants.co.uk/olive_guide.htm
"They need long, hot summers for the fruits to ripen fully"

Does this mean that as the summer is no longer (let alone hot) that there
will be no further ripening?

I am sure the olives have turned black in the past but I think they were
much smaller, and a sparser crop.

Has anyone else got a current crop of olives on the go?
If so, how are they doing and are you going to wait longer before picking
them?

Cheers

Ah - pictures found further down the web page:

"Harvest time

and
"Still fruiting

So perhaps I should leave them for a while.
