    You must have some craving for plums if you tried 3 different shops.

    As of last week my mother informed me she had the grand total of 16 pounds of plums either baked, made into jam, pureed or prepped and frozen, if things get tight she could be sitting on a nice little nest egg

    I was reading about a cabbage/kim chi shortage in South Korea earlier. These are the end times.

    For the sake of public morale we should prune negative comments.

    Have two plum trees in the garden. First time ever, not a single fruit on the trees this year. Dont know why. Maybe frost killed the flower or a unseasonal storm took them before pollination. Either way, no fruit this year !!!
