The Plum Tree Race


Ok, the race is on.

I have two cherry trees in my garden and this year although the branches were arched with the weight of fruit, I enjoyed TWO cherries.
I love cherries, but decided to wait until they were just perfectly ripe before picking.

Every day I went out and looked at them, thinking perhaps tomorrow.
Then one day both trees were completely stripped of fruit.
The early birds got my cherries. :(

No one will have my plums!
Unless I say so.
I love plum jam and plum chutney, plum crumble and plum...... well, anything actually.

I sat under the plum tree today and now I'm watching those plums like a hawk.

I just need the sun to shine on these little beauties, turn them pink, and then - they will be mine!!!
