Last of the large greengage plums. Another batch of mixed fruit jam This combination has a sparkling flavour.. Weights and measures? Never heard of them. By visible volume...easily sussed. We have given a load of plums away to friends. They ought to carry a warning. Every ston from a mature plum that hits the ground whether dropped by Jays or Crows or just carelessly tossed outside, is potentially a nsw tree. Much work ahead grubbing up a score of self sown maiden trees. Runners from the roots will produce new true to type fruiting stock also. Root pruning the mother trees (we have three) is essential. Some of the little trees will be potted on and used to exchange at the "Troc Plante".
The green has turned to straw. Stringing and trimming next.
The Mirabelles are turning to gold. Time to fill our buckets folk..
