![]() ![]() Having taken a very small percentage, and having given some to the very excited chickens, the rest have fallen to the ground for the wasps, a few honey bees, and the butterflies. They are suppose to freeze okay, even whole, but since it’s a new experience, I’m not entirely certain they won’t go to mush. Maybe I could make plum sauce, but I am hopeless in the kitchen! So the only choice I have is to freeze them. I don’t eat jam, I’m not a big fan of chutney, and all of my friends have trees of their own. On top of that, I’ve been eating so many that I have developed permanent stomach ache! (No problems with constipation relating to my painful coccyx then!!!) ![]() So what’s the problem? The problem is that the plums drop from the tree over two weeks and they don’t store. There are no grubs inside, which was a problem last year affecting the majority of fruit, the Victoria’s are as large as a hens eggs and deliciously sweet, and the Cambridge Gage tree is so bountiful the branches are bending over and touching the ground. I have two trees, a Victoria and a Cambridge Gage, and I must say this year has been the best I’ve ever had. ![]()
