Due to a wet cold spring, not ideal climate
for stone fruit flowering and fruit setting, there were only small crops of
cherry and peach so far this year. Plum is the exception, most trees bear a reasonable
load of fruits, and maturing now.

Reine Claude
One of my favorite, I like to harvest them
when they just turn from green rock hard to slightly soft and have a touch of
yellow. They have very crunchy flesh and juicy, with a good balance of sweet and
sour taste.

The famous plum for making prune, they are
super sweet when deep purple and soft.
Those that are still sour but attacked by
birds and insects are removed for use in cooking.
