[Gordon Steadman]

We discovered a couple of wild plum trees in a secluded corner of the garden. Had no idea what they were until I noticed that they were absolutely covered in fruit. All the cultivated plums have been struggling like mad but these two are obviously very vigorous.

Cooked them and have eight litres of juice for making jelly! Did the first two litres and filled seven large pots - lovely colour.    


This means twenty eight which is rather too many. Our local Google group has provided a recipient for half, can't stand waste.
