Plums harvested from Ed's plum tree (there were more-- but, eaten). I never knew a plum tastes so good and sweet. These are so much better than what you get in the store!

Cut a stem from an orchid that had finished blooming ages ago... stuck in water and surprise!
It put on a bloom stem and bloomed!

Yesterday I bragged on Ed's blackberries. I made a cobbler last night. Wow! It was so delicious!.

Here is the recipe for anyone who is lucky enough to have some berries. It works for blueberries and others.

BLACKBERRY COBBLER - Easy

Preparation time: 10 minutes Servings: 6 Cook Temp: 375

__________Ingredients______

4 cups blackberries

1 Tbsp lemon juice

1 large egg

1 cup sugar

1 cup all purpose flour

6 tbsp butter

__________Instructions__________

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Place fresh blackberries in a lightly buttered 8" square baking dish; sprinkle with lemon juice. Stir together egg, sugar and flour in a medium bowl until mixture resembles coarse meal. Sprinkle over fruit. Drizzle melted butter over topping. Bake for 35 minutes or until lightly browned and bubbly. Remove from oven and let stand 10 minutes. Serve warm with/without a side of your choice: vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Blackberries in the freezer!

Ed put 5 quarts of blackberries in the freezer yesterday. Many more are on the vines. We have several thornless blackberry vines. He has potted several to share with others. If you are local, give a call and come get one.
