Thursday I picked plums, and.....I may have picked a peck,
but if it WEREN'T a peck I picked, "Who Cares? ". What the heck!
Some were soft, some still hard, some purple, some were green.
This year's is a "bumper crop", the best that Bri has seen.
I will eat as finger-food; my mate may make plum wine,
….AND pickles! But, for me, .....just raw and ripe is fine.
I've NO wish, my plum-picking days, to soon resume,
and I'll be GLAD if birds do …., the other fruit, consume.

My apples froze while in blossom this year, but I have gobs of apricots and peaches. No plums. Had a nectarine tree for years but that has perished now. Also used to have a pear tree.
Dear Bri, especially from me, am rhyming too, Sir! BUT you did better, sure!
This poem is read by many BUT a few understand what you gonna tell. Besides these all, you also have many pets or were you only exaggerating? Your rhymes are oft brilliant, many times you rhyme to make the poem complete. BUT you gaet 5 Stars Bri, especially from me
This feel is awesome great. To care for your plants and when they bear fruits your heart really swells up. I like gardening to some extent.
Watch it with the plums. Don't eat too many or you will experience some stomach...complications
My grandparents had a few rows of grapes, back in the 50's and 60's. People who grow their own food amaze and impress me greatly. Terrific poem, btw.
I like plums but I like them better when they are turned into prunes. Persimmons are good too
Picking fruits especially from your own backyard is always a delight. I like almost all kinds of fruits.

Also have squash, and more tomatoes than I can eat! We used to bottle them, but we don't do that anymore.
