Yup! It was all I asked for. Probably not the most normal thing for a 19 year old guy to ask for, but hey, why not. :lol: Im sure I could keep one going, and Im sure my dad will keep a smaller one, I just dont want to deal with it, haha. I'll be at least 3.5-4 hours away and dont think I'll be...

Im glad I was able to help you too then! :D We have two and we always have way too many to eat, so its a good thing my grandma taught me how to can. Now Im branching out as much as possible. I have to go now, I just finished cutting up my plums and I need to make some jam!

Thank you very much, PotterWatch! I appreciate you taking the time to type all of that out for me. I think Im going to try canning some in syrup, just for the heck of it. I've never canned anything in syrup like that and I have so many plums. I actually did a batch of jelly and got 4 pints and...

That does look nearly identical, Hoodat. Thanks for the link! I just worry about eating something when Im not 100% positive what it is. I dont wanna kill anyone. :lol:

Thanks, PotterWatch! I would love the Plum Juice, Plums in Syrup and Plum Sauce if you wouldnt mind posting the recipes. Thank you very much. Freemotion, I've tried that too and dont like it too much either. I can be a picky eater, its a terrible fault of mine. I've mostly tried berry cobbler...

Journey, it does look like a really small plum. Im used to our large domestic ones I guess! :lol: vfem, that does describe them pretty well! Im just worried about eating one, I dont wanna croak at the age of 20! lol

Thanks. It sure is a bummer, especially since I got a pressure canner for Christmas and I was all ready to start canning! My garden last year was AMAZING. I remember picking 85 tomatoes one day. I didnt get 85 this entire year! I plan on transferring next fall to a 4 year college so Im not going...

Thank you all for the replies! The only thing about the cobblers and what not is that I do not like hot fruit, lol. Dont know why but I never have. The upside down cake idea sounds good though! As for the liqueur... that's a no go as well. Im 20 years old and this house is a no-alcohol house...

Well, none of our fruit trees did really well this year but we do have quite a few plums left on the tree. I picked probably 60 or so today and will pick the rest hopefully next week, although its my first week of school. :hide Anyways, does anyone have any fun/interesting recipes that I could...

Sparkles, my dad suggested a plum as well. Ridge, you and I have the same idea on this thing, lol. I picked one and cut it open and there is a huge pit in it. There was very little flesh on it but the flesh is really juicy and smells like a cherry, to me. The skin slipped right off after I...

Hello! Im doing pretty great, thanks for asking. How are you doing? My garden was horrible this year. Got a couple dozen peppers, about the same amount of tomatoes and probably the same amount of squash! One good crop of beans and that was it.... I had 16 rows that failed to germinate...

I never would have thought of that, haha. I dont even remember seeing it bloom, and I park my car next to it all the time!

Well, I got in one of my picture taking moods today and went outside to see what I could find. We've lived here for nearly three years and I see this "shrubby bush" thing all the time (Although looking at it, it could be a small tree that I just fail to prune :P )... this is the first time I've...

Whoa Whoa Whoa.... Hold up! JULS?! Hi! :frow :D

That looks perfect. Thank you very much, hoodrat.

Hello everyone! My mom's boss is an amazing baker. I took her a pint of homemade apricot jam last week and she made vanilla cupcakes filled with apricot jam with a cream cheese apricot frosting and I must say, they were AMAZING. She then used some berry jelly I had to make berry pockets, which...

Im probably 5 minutes away from Hughson. Very small town, but its a nice place. We go to a fruit stand out there all the time, they have great deals on fruit for canning. But like you said, its almonds and walnuts galore. We actually visited a Pest Control business there in my Agricultural...

Hello, Natalie! I was waiting for your reply. Its great to see you as well. Thank you very much. I'll be sure to continue updating. I had pretty terrible germination with my 2nd planting of bush beans, so I'll have to redo those. Hello, Mary. Thank you! I'm near Modesto, California. I've grown...

Thank you both! Boggy, my nextdoor neighbor raises poultry and goats, but we dont talk. He's a grumpy ol guy and he's probably not too happy with me because I yelled at him for trying to shoot birds on my property. ;) I have chickens, goats, ducks, snakes, geckos and all sorts of critters...

Well, Im usually very good about keeping photos updated, but this year I've been slacking! I've lost 4 tomatoes to a gopher so far, so I planted 19 more to see if I can get some to survive. I also have onions, peppers, eggplant, squash, zuchinni, beans beans beans and watermelons planted. Im...
