WE ARE GROWING FRUIT IN OUR SPARE TIME!

Sunday, July 08, 2007

There are there 2 trees that are growing in the little pathway near our service entrance. They aren't in plain view because it's that area of the house where we keep the bikes and the garbage cans and it's just a really slim walkway leading to noplace. The trees are nice enough (they look like the one pictured above - purple leaves and they flower in the spring), but they don't cross anyone's mind very often. I don't know what kind of trees I thought they were... except they were healthy and were a nice privacy screen.

Anyway, today we discovered that they are actually cherry plum trees! The kind that no doubt, Jack Horner pulled out of his mythical pie. Becca, having harvested many an apple in her day, was all over this and we picked about 30 plums off the trees this morning.

We're living in California and we are growing fruit!
