There is one benefit of the recent wet weeks. It’s impossible for P to take his tractor into the fields and normally at this time of year he is harrowing the olive groves to keep the weeds down. Weeds are his enemy, they take moisture and nutrients from the soil and so leave less for the olive trees. Now the olive groves remain untouched and so the wildflowers are taking advantage.

5 to remember
el beneficio – benefit
imposible – impossible
normalmente – normally
las malashierbas – weeds
el/la enemigo/a – enemy
