Dutch gardener celebrates first-ever olive harvest
Original: Onze eerste olijvenoogst! Our first olive harvest ever! # klimaatverandering ? # olijven # foodtoot # oogst # gardening
A gardener in the Netherlands reports harvesting olives for the first time, sharing the news bilingually in Dutch and English and wondering whether climate change is behind it. Olives are traditionally a Mediterranean crop, so a successful harvest this far north is being read as another sign of warming temperatures allowing subtropical plants to thrive in northern Europe.
Why now: A first olive harvest in the Netherlands fits the wider conversation about climate change making Mediterranean crops viable further north.
