plums!

[plantae]

A bit earlier this week I went up to visit my sister, who has a friend with several plum trees. As anyone who has had a plum tree knows, they're rather like zucchini. One tree makes more than you can use. Four trees is madness. So she was more than happy to have people come up to help remove some of the plums before they fell and rotted

Two adults working with one ladder and the aid of six small children, can, in the course of almost two hours, pick the same number of plums that one adult, working unassisted from a ladder, could harvest in 20 minutes.

Ah, yes. I'm familiar with such "aid".

I miss my plum tree.

Even though it was never remotely like zucchini. There were only a few last year, and only one of those that the wasps and squirrels left for me.
