There is a reasonable prospect of plums becoming available for home jam-making later in the year.
I have also looked after hens, picked small fruit, and picked and sorted pears, apples and plums.
I do not see why one should not produce their plums and give them a bit of publicity, even if we cannot get any ourselves.
Let me give an instance with regard to plums.
They are the less loss-making part, the plums.
The position in regard to plums is still a little uncertain.
I do not believe that it would be an attraction to entrants into the teaching profession if there were a few large plums.
You would leave it like a cake without any plums in it.
