But over the weekend, I strolled down to our orchard, and found our three plum trees teeming with beautiful little plums!
I picked in excess of 50 of them; since this is still about 40 in this bowl, you can surmise just how tiny they are. But they are lovely and sweet, with just a little tang to the skins.
I can't find any recipes for plums, but I'm thinking of attempting to create maybe a cobbler with some of these. And another trip to the trees is probably in order.
Happy Garden Tuesday, everyone! See you next time my brain is untangled.

I love sweet red plums - too bad I'm not closer so I could help with your what-to-do-with-them problem.
They look delish! I saw some teeny-tiny plums at the Farmers Market on Sunday, but opted to leave them behind at nearly $10 a pint (esp when I spent $8 on flat peaches).
You can make plum pie. Put in your thumb and pull out a plum. The squirrels have eaten most of our plums or at least taken a bite from each of them.
Oh my goodness! That's a great surprise

how cool! i've never even thought about the fact that plums come from a tree, but i now i want one or three in my backyard. :)
We had that type of plum tree in my yard growing up! I loved eating those sweet & delicious plums.
I hope the remainder of the time until the wedding is not stressful!
Have you ever made a plum clafouti? I am so jealous of your plums!
Plum pudding? I've never had it, but sounds deliciously Dickensian.
Our plum trees were a total bust this year (don't worry, the blueberries, peaches, nectarines, and apples made up for it).
When we do get plums, my husband makes plum jam. Delicious.
