Forgive me
they were annoying

I moistened and removed the skins of the seeds on everything that was up today. 7 pots of plums growing. I was worried the dry tops would shrink wrap them. In the wild they'd be coming out of the pit which I assume would be stuck to skin part. Much easier than doing this with pepper seedlings.
The first plum leaf is out!
A couple of the plum pots are showing some green and a lot of them are showing signs of pushing the soil up.
My pick for this week's #MondayCovers is a very nice Swedish version of "Mama Didn't Lie". The Curtis Mayfield composition had been a big US hit for Jan Bradley in 1963.
Doris & Plums: Mama Didn't Lie (a live performance from 1966)

The plum seeds I've had in the refrigerator for 5 weeks or so have started to sprout so they were put in pots. They're from red South African plums. I looked up the possible varieties they could be and the pollinators all seemed to match up to something else that is a marketed plum so they might make edible fruit. 12 seeds in 9 pots, 4 weren't showing so I put them all in the same pot.
