This morning the place where I'm staying had a huge plum in the fruit bowl at breakfast. I don't mean your regular "gosh, that's big"-size, I mean "wait, that's not an apple?"-size.
It was perfectly ripe and tasted delicious. Now that's it's already gone have I realised that I should have taken a picture of it, used another plum for scale, and created am amazing meme to demonstrate its size: "Oh lawd, he plummin...".
Alas, this one was not to be...
This is just to say.
I have eaten the last of the plums that I grew this year on my balcony on the dwarf tree my girlfriend gave me in 2920.
Forgive me.
They were delicious.
So tiny, and so #HomeGrown

What we harvested from our food gardens yesterday. We gave part of the fruits harvest to our farm friends.

"Basket of Plums," Louise Moillon, 1629.
Plums are one of my favorite fruits, and are coming into season, so I'm marking the occasion. Moillon was a Baroque-era French painter of still lifes, highly praised in her time as her work was purchased by King Charles I of England. Her skill is evident here!
From a private collection.

Three years ago, my partner gave me two sticks which she assured me were dwarf fruit trees. I dutifully planted them, and now indeed have a cherry and a plum tree thriving in containers on an upper-storey balcony. And this year, the plum has fruited! Birds or squirrels took most of the plums quickly, but I still have four which have made it this far and are starting to ripen. Itβs great to grow crops up in the air. #Gardening #BalconyGardening #FruitTrees #Plums #UrbanGardening

Biggest question being asked on my gardening website at the moment is - can you fix broken plum tree branches? Seems like there are a lot of heavy-cropping plums and damsons out there! I can really recommend Japanese blood plum Lizzie - lovely flowers and a very heavy cropper!

My first batch of #fermented #SourPlums is done & jarred. There's over 300 in this jar. Starting next batch in 2 weeks, with some of my yellow #plums this time. Preserved with simple coarse salt & cane sugar.

Let me not to the eating of icebox plums
Admit impediments. Love is not love
Which accuses when an accusation comes
Or clings to plans for broken fasts removed
O no! It is a thoughtful little note
That begs forgiveness for plums seized
It is the sweetness, as the poet wrote
Who took plums cold, yet taking would apease.
Last #plums of the season. 4.5kg should make enough jam and sauce for a year π
