The olive tree has two types of blossoms: the perfect blossom that contains both male and female parts, and male blossoms that have only stamens. In the presence of two and more of them there could be done cross-pollination which will increase the crop. However, if you want to have fruits with high quality and a large quantity of crop, you have to have sort of pollinator olive tree.
The olive fruit is green and drupe. After it’s fully ripened it changes its color to a darker one or black. The fruit is round or oval-shaped and oblong. From the moment of pollination to the typical size of the fruits are needed 90-100 days.
The olive needs a long warm period for the fully ripening of the fruits. That’s why during the spring you have to keep the olive tree in a conservatory till the days become hot and the nights become warm. The olive loves the sun. The blossoming season starts in may-June when the temperature is higher than 18ºС. You can grow olive trees outdoors but only if the winter temperatures are not bellow -10 ºС. If the temperature is minus 12-17 ºС, the branches freeze. If it’s minus 20-21 ºС, the tree dies.
You have to replant the olive trees yearly till their fourth year. After that you have to replant them once in every 3 years.

Mentha
Mentha Cultivation

All mints prefer, and thrive in, cool, moist spots in partial shade. In general, mints tolerate a wide range of conditions, and can also be grown in full sun. They are fast growing and invasive. To control mints in an open environment, mints should be planted in deep, bottomless containers sunk in the ground, or planted above ground in tubs and barrels.
Mentha need regular fertilization with combined mineral fertilizers.
Mints propagate vegetative by planting rhizomes. You have to propagate the plants in the second half of October.
It is best to store the ready plants in dry and sunny weather. You have to spread them on clean grounds for two days.
