Default Plums

There's lots. A seven foot branch even snapped under the weight.
Trouble is it would seem that there is a wasp in about a quarter of
them. Picking is therefore slowed down by having to pre-check each
plum for stripey inhabitants. At least another quarter of the crop
is on the ground. Anything that can be done to offset this loss of
crop? They are selling quite well at the gate, 50p for a pound and
a half bag.


Wow, I am impressed!!
