Plum Delight




Over the holiday weekend, we had some friends over for a bbq. Our guest aaron noticed from his seated vantage point that there were five plums dangling from our shaded tree.

We've pretty much given up on this tree. The back of our yard is lined with four overcrowded monterey cypress trees that block ALOT of sun. This plum tree that came with the house is pretty much shaded out. This year the aphids even begun their attack.

So we were quite delighted to spot unexpected fruit that even tasted divine! We've needed a little gardening suprise like this one since our ducks + chickens have pretty much devastated my pumpkin/squash patch [that's another post entirely]
