Baby plums

This is what baby plums look like-- the little green nubs haven't fallen off (yet) but the jury is still out. Did the bees do their job? If so, we should finally have another nice crop this year. This variety is the Italian Prune, wonderful for cooking and eating. John asks for plum kuchen every summer. It just isn't the same when you have to buy the plums.

This is just to say

I have eaten
The plums
That were in
The icebox

And which
You were probably
Saving for breakfast.

Forgive me
They were delicious
So sweet
And so cold.

William Carlos Williams
