Hey all -
Sunday was garden day at Salmon House and, happily, we have a TON of fruit growing on our plum tree out front.
Last year it barely bore any, so I’m excited that I’ll be able to bake some plum pies towards the end of the summer (and freeze some for a midwinter treat)!
Right now, the branches are drooping, heavy with unripe green plums, which means we have to do this sorta counter-intuitive thing and thin it out. I spent at least two hours plucking off pretty much every other fruit I could find on a given branch… and there’s still a lot more work to do!
It’d feel like a waste except for two things:
My landmate Josh is making maesil-cheong with some of the fruit, and we’re giving away a bunch more to our neighbors.
If we didn’t thin it out, we’d endanger the whole tree. (We didn’t thin the apples out enough last year, and that tree split in two!)
It’s a great li’l metaphor for the necessity of letting go. Potential can weigh you down if you hold onto too much of it too-tightly. The fact that we have the opportunity to prune means is a sign that the plums are healthy.
(See what I did there?)
“Shut up and tell us about the events, MJ.”
All right all right all right:
