My plums are smaller this year

?????
Please excuse me the title of your thread tickled me this morning!!

Yes, they're very tiny and we have fewer than last year. BIL lost his crop due to that cold snap.

I only have apple trees, but my husband said he feels the same way. (Ignore me)

Me too ?????

What a good thing I changed plums to crop in my post ???

Hardly dare reply now! ?
I only have small plums on one branch, everything else was caught by the cold snap.

I'm sure this was a code phrase on "Allo, Allo."

We had a bumper crop last year, absolutely none this year!
Too dry and cold in the spring?

Too many cold baths ?

Now I do like small plums actually and several other fruits ?

same here - well it is so cold today!

Despite a late frost my plum tree is laden but they are smaller, maybe they will ripen larger. Apples are also smaller

I'm probably telling Grannies to suck eggs here but, because our plums keeping dropping off (no comments please ?) we have to watch out for the dog eating them if they dry out on the ground. They're not good for dogs as the stones contain cyanide and other toxins.

I saw a video once of badgers completely drunk after eating fermented plums- they love them.

I have a lovely painting here entitled 'The Plum Badgers' which I love.

Excuse me laughing OP but I must have a one track mind too!

We no longer have fruit trees or dogs sadly. When we did have, fortunately the dogs ignored any fallen fruit, surprising for greedy labradors.

We had absolutely none last year.
There’s a good crop this year but they haven’t ripened. They are usually ripe by the end of July. ?

Our apples are tiny. Only a very few of the wild blackberries have developed this year.

I hope nobody is growing melons ?

Bumper crop last year and absolutely none this year.. very strange

My mind drifted into that area too

I never thought of plums a different way. ??
There’s no shortage of fruit, just that this pic shows the big ones. Lots of them are like big grapes and they’re already falling off.

The plums.
