What did you do in the garden today?

Well slap my (bleep) and call me Sally! 😳😱😳😱😳😱

I'm out thinning and bagging baby peaches and I just happened to look at the plum tree next to it. THERE'S BABY PLUMS ON THIS TREE! I have no idea how it got pollenated... The other plum tree I have wasn't flowering. The only thing in visible range of these trees that was flowering at the same time was the peaches and my dogwood trees.

My ghast is flabbered...

Possibly self-pollinated. I know Shiro self-pollinates. As do most European plums like Stanley.

Any wild plums around?
 
My tomato plants are covered in rotten leafs due to the excessive rain.
Today....in the light rain, I will
Put some mung bean seeds in the garden, I think I like this plants.
Empty a few pots of dead plants
Always work to be done in the garden so more of it.

Well, I managed to thin some of the peaches... At least on the branches where I bagged some of the fruit. This is the first time I've bagged peaches so we'll see how it goes. I used knee high stockings and some string to tie it on. I saved some additional stockings to bag the plums once they get a bit bigger. I'll be bagging apples with organza bags and grapes with paper bags this year.

I think my biggest concern with the peaches is the massive fruit drop that always happens... The trees are far too tall for me to fully thin them. So I'm hoping the trees don't decide that the fruit I bagged is expendable to be dropped in lieu of other fruit I couldn't reach. That'd be just my luck....
