An hour or two today was spent up in our plum tree (after a quick review on calling 911 should mummy fall off the ladder). Last week I picked what I could but I’m glad I waited to pick the bulk today as they are much nicer now.
After popping a basket full over the fence to a neighbour, we had 35 lbs of ripe plums and that’s only half the tree. I’ll take the rest in a few days. I bagged half for various friends and the others were halved and frozen as I just don’t have the time to do much else with them right now.
It seems that after a week or so of dreary weather and rain, summer has returned if only for a short revisit and it has done wonders for my beans. There are hundreds of new flowers and baby beans so I am hoping that the warm weather sticks around for a few more weeks so we can enjoy them a little longer.
Here’s a random flower that popped up over the last few days:
So great to see the product of hard work. I remember having a plum tree as a kid and always being able to go out and pick them. (i’d climb on the propane tank, but I’d get them). Enjoy them!
