We planted a plum tree in front of our house last summer. I didn't figure it would have any fruit this year, but surprise! Last week I realized there were at least 4 hanging from its branches. I prematurely picked two and ate them...not ripe, but still, the satisfaction of planting and growing a tree tasted pretty sweet. Naturally I didn't think to take a picture before I crammed them in my mouth. So here's the only proof I could produce.
Yesterday I was outside and discovered some of the last ones disappeared (probably a bird) and there is one lonely piece of fruit left. I think I'll pick it today, ripe or not, for fear it might not be there tomorrow.
aww! so fun.
ReplyDeleteI had two plums on my tree last year and when I checked the next day the birds had eaten most of them, so enjoy that last one before they do.
