The Plum Trees ...

 ... that have self-seeded in what I laughingly call "the orchard" have never carried so much blossom.

  1. That's a lovely sight. Looks like a good crop in prospect.

    1. Hello Fly, we always have more than we know what to do with - even making plum tam and plum chutney. Which means most of them just finish on the ground. I used to have to put up horse fencing to keep Vita away as she'd eat them whole - stone included! Not a good idea

  2. Fingers crossed no tempest or frost to spoil plum production. Lesley

    1. Hello Lesley, touch wood, they're sheltered enough to survive - it's the apricots that tend to get caught, which I prefer. Round here - plums and Mirabelles, it's like coals to Newcastle, can't even give them away.

    1. Shame I can't send you some!!! They are anything but a luxury item round here! Be only too glad to send them to a good home.
