I'll be sure not to share with you!<br /><br />MMD - This happens to our tomatoes a lot in the summer here with or drought and then we'll get a downpour and all the skins will split!<br /><br />Deb-I'm gonna have to get out there with a ladder and a magnifying glass! There so small and they hide so well!<br /><br />Carol - Thanks - boy 3 inches was so wonderful. You've had scary weather and quite a bit of rain I see. Storms yesterday, I heard - my MIL ready to go under the house.<br /><br />Jayne - Happy to have that rain, really. I have not watered since. Thought about it tonight and decided to wait 1 more day. Every little bit I can save on water bill with this huge yard!<br /><br />Linda - I love having flower in the house - especially when they are mine! Well, I thought this was an ornamental plum! Not.Mexican... that's all I know. Prunus Mexicana<br /><br />Gail - I love the Wine Cups, too and even though they take over the path, I keep them. They are a burst of color in the middle of the grass. I made Kallie a posie of them today to put in her bathroom. They are in crushed granite and get beating hot sun and not too much water! They like being abused.Dianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08681758051433522246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7327638960016684551.post-85444059603895537892010-06-13T20:32:28.919-05:002010-06-13T20:32:28.919-05:00What a wonderful problem to have!

Did you ever tell us which plum it was?<br /><br />But I sure hope that drink keeps coming; I'd rather have it than the flip side!LindaCTGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10177442713100751193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7327638960016684551.post-27534040058319871452010-06-12T13:01:42.889-05:002010-06-12T13:01:42.889-05:00Yes, your area got a little too much rain, too qui...Yes, your area got a little too much rain, too quickly didn't it?

My mother made plum jelly every year and there was always so much of it, she refused to buy any "store bought" jelly. I hated plum jelly! I grew thinking that jelly was a lousy thing and I was in high school before I knew what other jelly tasted like. So plums are not on my fave list! Glad you are enjoying them though, and I am loving that pic of the vase of flowers from your cutting bed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
