End of summer?

Are you down in France now? The nights are getting cold, and fall colours are starting early in some of the maples. It will be mushroom season soon... Yes, we're in Normandy. We have a glut of plums (hasn't everyone?) and I'm making plum relish every other evening. I forgot to bring my recipe for plum chutney over which is a bit annoying! My wife can't face the thought of more plum jam so what else can I do with them? Actually we are without plums. Not really sure why, and others around us have them. A friend in the village has given us carte blanche to collect, they weren't quite ripe last time I was there to water. I'll be grubbing up the mirabelle this winter, all the bark on one side has died. Feh. Going to have a good cider apple harvest this year, too. Yes it looks like a good year for apples, needed after last year when there were none at all. Not many pears though. A few peaches will be ready in a week or so, but again a very small crop. cheers, -- Gardening in Lower Normandy |
