Haven't had any deer grazing thru the flower beds. It looks beautiful out your way.Cathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01947681055574897580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2634969979683449053.post-62111901195900932862009-06-04T11:34:22.076-04:002009-06-04T11:34:22.076-04:00Agreed!

We haven't had plums before, although there used to be some wild ones on our property. They were overtaken eventually by the forest. Wild plums are so good!--if you eat the innards and not the skin. The skin is so tart it curls your lips. Of course, some people like that sourness. And it's great pectin for jelly.Granny Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01129064020727041161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2634969979683449053.post-20501155467757731602009-06-04T09:27:31.915-04:002009-06-04T09:27:31.915-04:00Great that you are planting plum tree's. I lo...Great that you are planting plum tree's. I love fresh plums! Be careful of any early signs of black knot, that's what killed all of my Granny's plum tree's. Once black knot gets a hold on them, it is nearly impossible to get rid of. My advice, get you some lime sulfur and sprinkle around the base of the tree about every few months. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. <br /><br />So did you ever get you another crab apple tree since one of yours fell last year?<br /><br />All this rain...I think somebody needs to take the dead snake off of the fence!Matthew Burnshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02625103538582649633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2634969979683449053.post-15738304059692538752009-06-04T09:01:12.522-04:002009-06-04T09:01:12.522-04:00It was a great night to rest--and it looks lke ano...It was a great night to rest--and it looks lke another might be on the way today with more rain. <br /><br />I did at least get my desk straightened up and got the blls organized and ready to pay before I went to bed. So that was good. Tonight I'll pick up felt and start on finger puppets. And maybe read some more!Granny Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01129064020727041161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2634969979683449053.post-86147928828353357192009-06-04T08:59:12.051-04:002009-06-04T08:59:12.051-04:00Congratulations on getting so much done inside, an...Congratulations on getting so much done inside, and on the evening reading--sounds lovely!<br /><br />As for your outside, it sounds depressingly familiar.

I think, I could do this - but then end up vegging on the couch, or puttering around. Last evening I did finally clean up the attic from the rummage I did for the yardsale on Memorial weekend, but other than that I rested.Mountainwordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11011071025161667391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2634969979683449053.post-8382439129442123962009-06-03T22:45:12.695-04:002009-06-03T22:45:12.695-04:00Good for you!
