So, yesterday, I had a great afternoon with my daughter ( Indiana Robin, The Explorer), and came home with some wild plums, as well as some small seedling plants to try and grow.
She had been out in the woods looking for fossils, and noticed a tree with fruit on it, so she investigated it, and discovered that they were tiny wild golden plums.
She drove to my house and got me, and we went back in her trusty little Ford Ranger, and I brought along my trusty shovel.
We first picked a nice batch of the wild plums, and then we dug up a few of the little seedling plants growing nearby. Some of them were only a few feet tall, but already had borne fruit this year, so those are the ones we dug up.
I figured if they bloomed and had fruit already, then I should have even more plums from them next year.
When I looked the plums up on the internet, I found they have several names, depending on the area where they grow. They come in both red and yellow varieties, and we got some of both.
