Just enjoyed a lovely bass cooked on the BBQ. Not being very scientifically minded, if I was to bury the remains, head, bones and tail and plant something on top would it rot down and become what we know as blood, fish and bone ???

Hey Cilla, You're not the only one finding this italian language hard to learn....my problem is concentration, somehow I can always find something more 'important' to do and before you know........Have bought verb drills book off Amazon and as from Monday.........yeh... Friend gave me this link, she enjoying learning for free !!!! ears pricked !!!!! busuu.com Mrs D
May be worth contacting a May be worth asking a few architects who have landscapers 'prettying' up estates for rock stars and politicians in the region...sure they are the people in the money.... If anyone has any ..... If no joy tho' do consider transplanting, as Gala's article says prune top back hard to same diameter as roots and see what gives....sure you could find buyer but just running out of time...Not sure where you are but would help you if I could....dont like to think of trees 'homeless'.....
Although no expert when it comes to 'olive trees', do know a bit about plants and gut feeling says you need to act fast as sap will be rising..... Understand your fear / concerns re: asking nurseries for quotes etc and as this building up to their 'busy time probably not good idea. If any help, if mine I would get digger to dig trench in unused area, get digger to dig up trees, prune roots back to 1m diameterand transplant...water well and see what gives.....If sucessful you could spend all yr looking for buyer and trees eaier to dig up next winter and sell for 'kennel loads of money'....know in uk an olive tree of that age would fetch £200 plus retail...just a thought....Sorry cant be more help, sure people more knowledgable than me can offer more advice....Good luck. PS I have lovely lurcher and young cat, may need putting up in hotel one day...let us know when you can accept paying guests.
Cheers Andrew, Sounds good to me......will PM you when snow no more and sun is a shining to arrange a swap.. Have lots of good reads so if anyone else want to swap just let me know......
Had success posting last time, so thought I'd try again......Have lots of mainly paper back books - novels, some recent some older but a all a good read....Anyone interested in swapping say, 30 books, living in Sarnano, Amandola, Fallerone region please contact me for list of titles.

Lampigioni are wild onions.....havn't eat any so cant really give opinion..... Think used in all sorts of recipes, sure someone will know more.......
Agree with you Angie....if anyone is considering taking on a kitten why not a ferral / semi-ferral one. We have one and he too is out playing having had a good long sleep on the bed.... Dog snoozing on settee ahhhh domestic bliss....wouldn't have it any other way.
Awwwww Pilch, Poor moggies....difficult as you say, not to get involved....know I couldn't ignore and would have had to dig out the old can of cat food and be up early next morning to see if any had gone....As for sod the expense, think the more people that use the 'free' neutering scheme the better...'dont use it and you will loose it' thing...will post any update on friend in Amandola comune who also wants to use scheme to have 6 approx male cats sorted......Wonder if other regions run same scheme ???? Good to hear Timmy and Jimmy looking fit, lean and mean...who knows what would of happened to them had they not enjoyed quality milk c / o a can or two or three +++++++++++++++++++ of old cat food...then new...........
