Some of the fruit trees yesterday. Apples, apricots, and a plum. Next post is a peach, the other plum, and the pears.

97 blossom degrees, almost a 20 degree increase each of the last 3 days. Low of 63F/17C this morning.

I bought some "ripen at home" #plums the other day which turned out to be overly ripe, underwhelming in taste, and unappetising in texture.

I am quietly confident that putting them in this will improve them immeasurably πŸ™‚

I've even been for a nice 4 mile walk* so I deserve the treat.

(*Admittedly this was to the village and back to buy double cream to go with it πŸ˜‚ )

Last year we had a very good harvest and preserved some mirabelle plums. Delicious!
