A couple of years ago, when we redid our back yard, we planted a small plum tree in one of the beds.  It has grown well and, last year we had a few small plums that developed.  They all fell before we had a chance to pick them, so we had no idea whether they were any good or not.  This year, we had a lot more plums as the tree has grown quite substantially.  I picked one of them to see how it was doing, and it wasn’t too bad.  It did have a split in it, though.

The following weekend, I decided to harvest the rest.  One had already fallen, and I think I saw a rabbit having a good chew on it.  The rest came off easily enough.  Quite a few had splits in them which, from what we hear, is the result of them getting a lot more water than they have been used to.  I put them all in a bowl to get a photo.  For the first one, I put them all with their best sides up.  Then I turned them to show the most damage.  Selective angles in photos can really change the impression you give!!
