We have a plum tree.
The tree has beautiful dark green leaves and beautiful purple plums that hang on the branches in August! Come September those plums become ripe, and since we don't eat that much of them they begin to fall all over the ground. When my children run around or ride their bikes they squish those plums and track them everywhere! Grandma C. knows all about this with her Cherry tree.
The other day i told the girls i would pay them to pick up plums of the ground, 5 cents per plum. Tes picked up 26 plums. Dalia picked up 90 plums. Rock picked up plums as well. Rock enjoys carrying around a bucket picking blackberries or plums to put in it. After the plums were all counted the girls hauled them back to our yard waste pile at the back of our yard. It was a fun game and it helped to keep the plum smooshing down.

I used to pay kids to scoop up dead birds or varmints, etc. Plums are much, much better! xoxo
