We have so many fruit trees in our yard. I can't keep up with all the fruit. I just finished picking and freezing blueberries and now the plums are starting to fall, all three full grown trees of them. You can't leave them on the ground or they attract wasps and get all squishy. It isn't unheard of here either for the odd bear to come up the river for a bite to eat. I don't mind eating plums and making the odd dessert out of them but don't really want to go through the work of doing anything else with them. I am of the mind sort that can't let them go to waste. My freezer is still full from last years apples and possibly the years before and I have two loaded apple trees here that are nearing picking time. Last year I invited many a friend and casual acquaintance to come pick and share the bountiful harvest. However, it seems people feel uncomfortable accepting something free. Or perhaps they want the perfect piece of fruit without a slight blemish on it. Our trees are all natural with no spray so with that you don't get the perfect outer skin.
So everyone watch their mail as I am sending bags of fruit to everyone on my 360 list. Hope they survive the internet travel.
