Bri Picked Plums …[ Gardening/Farming; Fruit; Short; True! ] Poem by Bri Edwards

Bri Picked Plums …[ Gardening/Farming; Fruit; Short; True! ]

Rating: 5.0


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.

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.

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.

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.
