Olive Tree, Carob Tree, flowers and some Cactus

I took a few snaps of the trees around my house as well as those in small pots. When we built the house we had a large old olive tree which we were led to believe was just inside our boundary wall, turns out it was 10% in our land and 90% on where the pavement would be.

((You can actually read my blog on the house being built here; My House blog - unfortunately we were without internet for close to 6 months so i could not update or finish it, but i have new focus now with my vegetable blog - and internet.))

We kept it stood tall of course;



Across from the Olive Tree we have an old carob tree as well;



The Carob tree has a long history and many uses, if your interested you can read more about it here; Carob Tree.

As well as the large trees grown by nature or long lost communities i have some trees potted in the garden and patio area also. These are sparse at the moment but i hope to be adding to them very soon.

A small tree which provides colourful blossoms - no idea on the name of this one.

I will be replanting some other trees i have at the front of the house into pots so i can place 3 or 4 smaller olive trees at the entrance of the house over the coming weeks.
