The best plums by a country mile. Large but not watery. Sweet but with plenty of flavor. Juicy but crisp. The perfect plum.

It's almost starting to feel like it could be approaching time to think about getting prepared for the first of the chardonnay grape harvest.

Weed whacking day. I no longer use nylon line as I can't think of a more effective way to spew large volumes of micro-plastics into the soil than that. Now I use a metal blade, so watch your toes.
