Plum-licious

Yesterday represented the first time in six years that we harvested the plums in the rain. We picked 65.2 pounds yesterday, and Nick will finish off the job today.

The plums are still a little on the green side this year, owing to the cool summer we had, but we felt that getting them off the trees now would serve us better than letting the squirrels throw half-eaten plums on the ground to rot. Let the plum-processing begin!

Update: Nick finished picking all the plums we could reach. (Some are too hard to get at, so we’ve left them for the squirrels.) Total harvest for 2008 is 73.2 pounds - down a little from years past, but not bad!

Is it too late?  Are all the plums already going to good homes????  Let me know - we could stop by this weekend!
