Fruits and veggies have done pretty well this year, despite my highly neglectful gardening style. ;P Tomatoes have come into their own:
Apples are about ready to be picked:
And we've got plums!
Italian Prune Plums, to be specific, which is why they're so small. This is the whole crop, except for a few that fell on the ground. It's a pretty impressive crop, though, when you consider what the poor Plum tree has gone through - first, it was planted in a dry, sandy New Hampshire yard. Second, I planted it right at the edge of the driveway, so it always ends up buried by the end of the snow plowing season. Third, it has actually been run into by the plow truck before!! Fourth, it got some sort of fungal growth the past couple years, so I had to prune off a few of its meager branches.
But it keeps on growing plums...go, little tree, go!!
Yeah, that is a pretty impressive crop for that poor little tree... =)
