I wanted to give a big THANK YOU! to everyone who helped with Plum Harvest ‘09. We picked more than 70 pounds again, which is quite a bit of fruit!

So...thank you Anne and Ronan (pictured) for being the first to help pick and eat. Thank you Kieth and Cathy for loaning us your ladder again. Thank you mom, Brian, and dad, for helping us with the lion’s share of the harvesting. Thank you mom for loaning me your canning equipment. Thank you Cathy for the dehydrator, which faithfully continues to dry the plums and plum leather. Thank you to all of my friends who graciously agreed to eat a bag of plums. And last, but not least, thank you Nick for being such an awesome spouse and taking up the slack around the house while I devoted days to canning and preserving.
