    Oh WOW!!  Many thanks for this dizzylizzy!!

    What a fantastic photo, I love it....my Olive tree is much the same, it is doing very well now,  although the flowers have all gone, and what I thought were Olives weren't!!!  I think they must just have been new flowers!!  Oh dear, I have a lot to learn!  I  still am looking for Olives though!   If I am fortunate enough to get any I will shout it from the rooftops!   and post it on here!  Watch this space.

    You seem to have the knack ( if that's how you spell it?! ) with your Olive tree dizzylizzy!   You have brought yours up beautifully. 

    I will check out the link from Dove and the others too, thanks very much. 

    Take care and best wishes to you.

    Hi Chrissie

    i managed to pu t a short video on youtube on how to report an Olive tree- it took two days to laod but eventually. 

    You should be able to view it by typing into google - youtube repotting an olive tree gardeners world

    Remember it is an amateur video, never done it before and had my galaxy tablet balanced on its end- so the vdieo looks like it was done through a postbox- i don't mind as it leaves me out of shot- only my arms and hands are visible.......

    Happy Growing

    WOW!!!  image

    You are brilliant dizzylizzy!!

    I wouldn't know where to start putting a photo on here let alone a video!!

    I will certainly have a look, thank you very much.

    Don't suppose you have any suggestions as to where I might put a Fig tree in my garden do you??    I bought it at the same time as the Olive tree, it is outside at the moment, such beautiful weather for now isn't it?  It loves it out there!  I am keeping it watered of course,  but, I think I should probably plant it out now, but, where?  I have quite a large garden, lots of it is under trees, which I love, although, there isn't anywhere I could put the Fig tree, anyway, not enough sunshine, too many roots.    I have a spot which I think might be good, it's next to the garage down the bottom of the garden, I used to have a pond there, it gets plenty of  sunshine in the afternoon / evening, I wonder if that space would be good for it?  Sorry to go on!  I do that!!   Just wondered if you had any advice for me, you seem very knowledgeable....Have I done enough creeping yet?!!!  
    Thanks again for the video, I'm going to look right now!

    Talk soon, no doubt...

    Love to you.
