    It's plum season...

    All the wild plum trees are hanging heavy:





    Now aside from Jam, anyone have any other recipes to use these nutritional tidbits? I'm not a big fan of just eating them off the trees, but it seems like such a waste to not use them. I have hundreds of trees...

    Wow, ours are not even ready yet. We just snack on them off the trees, so no help to you there.

    My methley plums fell off the trees, so I got none.
    Common sense is so rare these days, it should be re-classified as a super power.

    We had a very late, 30 minute freeze after everything was producing. Lost peaches to birds, plums and pears to the freeze, as well as some of our taters back in late march.

    This has been a hard year for gardening. Rains spread way out, bugs have been bad.

    No kidding, I've got some super ugly, but very tasty tomatoes, my zucchini is making like 1 at a time, cucumbers suck this year, my cherry tomatoes are out of control, we've probably gotten 600-800 off of 6 plants with no sign of slowing down, Cherokee purples are not making, black prince, and black Krim are making slow and not too many, celebrity tomatoes are not impressive, and rats have been eating little chunks the size of a golf ball out of my super tasty watermelons and cantaloupes. Mr. rat bit the dust along with his brothers and sisters, but there will be more I'm sure.
