A PLUM TREE (2)

Some three years ago, I found a plum tree hidden in the garden. This summer I have found some more. I don't know if it's because of the long spell of hot weather, but they are covered in plums, thousands of them. Like the apple trees I inherited, much of the fruit is too high up to be picked, and will go to waste; but there is still a lot to be had by my greedy fingers.

My wife says that there is a limit to the amount of plums that can go into my tummy. I am not so sure.
