Since we had not one apricot this year, maybe she is compensating for her friend.
We have already reaped 10 baskets-full like this, and there are more to come. They are divinely tart/sweet delicious -- no spray, all bio-natural -- and curiously the birds don't seem to be interested. Maybe they overdosed on the cherries.
Apples are on the way and the tomatoes are slowly turning red. My-Reason-For-Living-In-France just found the largest cucumber I have ever seen. I shall now photograph it for your delectation next week -- alongside a puny courgette for scale.
Have a wonderful weekend. It's glorious here today. We're hoping for an Indian summer since we were cheated out of a beautiful August.
A demain for the weekly line-up.

Ooh, Tish, glorious is the word for those plums! You lucky ducks. And delectation, there's a delightful word. Looking forward to seeing it! J x
tu as de la chance d'avoir des arbres fruitiers : tu me fais envie ! Le seul figuier dans le jardin de ma maison dans le finistère ne daigne même pas nous offrir l'ombre d'un fruit ! you know rainy Brittany!
I lost my victoria plum tree last winter, and will miss them. Your plums look divine xx
We're enjoying a beautiful Indian summer here--heading off to the farmer's market downtown to purchase some great veggies! And, maybe some yummy baked goods--hard to resist.
Hello Tish,
Beautiful image , enjoy your weekend hugs Colette~from a cold Spring day in Afrique du Sud
They look fabulous. My kids have never been big plum fans, but this year when I brought some home, my 16-year-old ate all of them and said it was the best fruit he'd ever had. I need to find some more.
Belle saison de fin d'été. On se régale de fruits mûrs et de la douceur du temps.
Passez un très beau week-end.
You have a great blog! I love it! And your plums make me think of my childhood at my grandmothers!

How lovely. I think that you need to bake a prune clafouti.
Gorgeous! What a fabulous clafoutis those would make!
Tish! How lucky you are to have a tree so prolific!!!!I can imagine claufouti.....Yum!Maryanne xo
VERY, VERY ROMANTIC...I don't know, even the French people's fruit trees and gardens evoke a worn beauty that never fades. Enjoy chaque moment ma belle avec ton amour...Anita
ça c'est pour les confitures…
Oh Trish I hope you have that Indian summer. Reading about your plum tree reminded me of the trees back home in Washington State & how you couldn't give away all the fruit they would produce. Wonderful thoughts of home and summer. I hope your weekend was lovely through & through.
Cheers my dear x
