Juicy, tarty, sweet,
The plums weigh down the tree,
I bite into their meat,
Tastes heavenly to me.
Jams and cakes galore,
The winter’s treats await,
It’s what we have in store.
Who cares if we gain weight?
Plumb Full of Plums

Lots of plums. I wash and pit them and put 24 in each ziploc to freeze for making desserts later. It works out very well. But of course, fresh off the tree is best.

Great! We love plums, dear Anneli. But unfortunately, we don’t have a plum tree. Plum trees seem to be rare here.

It is hard to beat this time of year for stone fruit. Now, I’m going to have to buy plums on market day. Have a good evening Anneli. Allan

Well, the upside of buying the plums is that you don’t have to water the trees and worry about the drought.

Wow! So many plums.
Next door has a plum tree. They’ve been there for nearly 2 years, but last year their tree had a rest. This year it has loads.
They have given us permission to pick and eat all those on our side of the tree. Yum!
