Olive oil from Brac set to conquer Europe
On the Dalmatian island of Brac, in cooperation with the Faculty of Agriculture in Zagreb, extensive research and inventory of indigenous varieties of olives has begun. The purpose of the project is to create a basis for branding varietal extra virgin olive oil which can conquer the European market.
The olives need to be of high quality with a distinctive taste and research has already begun on the eastern side of the island, where a rare variety of buhavica is grown, buhavica are considered to be authentic Brac olives, reports daily newspaper Slobodna Dalmacija.
Brac has more than half a million cultivated trees and almost still unrivaled as the most developed olive grwoing region in Croatia. Brac has Venice to thank for their olive industry. The Venice senate in 1565 made the decision to plant olive trees in all neglected areas on the island. There were fines for those who damaged the plantations and in the case of repeated offending, expolsion from the island for 10 years.

Lori Writes: Blue flowers and more
Love these blue flowers (ed: in our memorial garden)! They look so nice. They close up every night real tight and then open each day. The lavender and maple are doing really well. Now I just have to get time to put out some beauty bark. With only one place to take care of now I already felt a little lost with not as many horses to ride and care for today. It is weird! I may actually have some free time once I get in the swing of it!
