Fruit Harvesting Underway!

Last night was a very big night (and a beautiful one.) Altogether, we picked 405 pounds of fruit in two hours. Amazing.
This is the breakdown:

Lynn's pears - 110 lbs (will sit in my cool garage until they ripen a bit)
Laurie's red/purple plums - 180 lbs Will go to St Cloud's homeless meals project, the Beacon Ave Food Bank and FareStart
The Daniels' yellow plums - 115 lbs Will go to Beacon Ave Food Bank, FareStart, 1st Covenant Church Women's Shelter, Cherry Street Food Bank

I heard that Lynn's tea and pita/hummus snacks were terrific (we'll come back anytime) and that my husband almost crashed and burned on Laurie's tree, reaching for the biggest plums he'd ever seen. It was a gorgeous night, I hope everyone had fun, it's so satisfying to see all that fruit sitting in boxes ready to feed people. Thanks all of you!
