Not far from the pumpkin patch (yesterday's post) is this little orchard of mostly plum trees. Whoever owns it does a good job of mowing the grass and pruning the trees each year.
About a dozen fruit trees in a little orchard along our walking route.
There's another similar plum orchard next to our property on the top of the hill. The people who own that land don't live here, but they come by a few times a year to clear, prune, and pick. They've also invited us to take whatever fruit is left in a bountiful year. This year was not particularly good for plums. Maybe next year.
My mouth is now watering for a plum fresh off the tree.
ReplyDeleteIt’s good to have generous neighbors who have orchards. We bought clementines yesterday, ‘tis the season.
ReplyDeleteYes, maybe next year for more of everything.
ReplyDeletewow free plums!
ReplyDeletedo you pot them or jam them or what?
mitch, you'll likely have to wait for a few months...
ReplyDeletebettyann, I got some from Morocco on Saturday. Yum!
evelyn, and less of something else. ;)
michael, we used to, but we have too much. Now we just eat them or make tarts.
