We have two plum trees that I planted when we first moved in. Bugs got all the plums when they were young last year. So this is our first big crop (I sprayed this year).

I think we have about 2000 plums on one of the trees. There are so many that several of the branches have broke from the weight.

So now we are doing canning. When the rest of you suckers are begging your LDS neighbors for a scrap of their food storage, I will be eating sugar plums!

By the way, what can you do with canned plums anyway?

You can make the ribs Bobby Flay made on Throwdown last week.

Plums are one of my favorite fruits. I just thought you should know.

you are welcome to have some, but you will have to pick them yourself.

It's a deal.

I love plum jam. We have a row of wild plum trees by our house. Italian prunes to be exact.

If you have 2000 plums you need to do a little thinning.

my little brother and i had a fabulous plum war one morning as lads.
the riper ones make a handsome blood stain on white t-shirts when thrown hard enough.
Mom was a little perturbed when she saw what we had done to her plums.
