Picking Plums

When we remodeled our house, we tore out several overgrown trees. One of the trees that we saved was the plumb tree in the backyard.

This year, Lars spent a lot of time fertilizing the tree and treating the bugs. Today we reaped the benefits of his hard work and picked the plumbs off of our tree.

Our neighbor made plumb cobbler for us! It was so good. I have also heard they are great dried. We are going to try to take as many as we can to neighbors and enjoy the rest.

I think plumb picking will be a much anticipated family tradition in the years to come.
