Are plums really abundant in the markets there? Plum season ended here about
a month ago. Oh, never mind, the post comes from an article written July 1,
2008.

You just posted this out-of-season recipe because you want attention, didn't
you? Why not post something which uses produce which *is* in season?

Based on the replies of others, it seems that in some areas, plums *are*
still in season. So I was wrong, and I apologize.

WWW means that somewhere on the planet plums are in season... oops,
fergot, the world is all about you, ignoranus.... the baboon assface
criticising someone about attention seeking, that's ripe! LOL-LOL

Ahahahahahahahahahahahahaha. . .

Clueless AOL newbie Sheldon "Pussy" Katz blathered:

Only if plum season is six months long, which it isn't. Or do you think that
somewhere in the world it's the height of summer right now? Are you THAT
clueless about how the seasons work?

Eleven o'clock EDT on a Saturday night, and Pussy is hanging on every word I
post to Usenet.... just waiting to POUNCE on a mistake I caught and
rectified twenty minutes earlier. Good work, Pussy! I'm sure your vigilance
will be rewarded SOMEHOW! How about if I bestow the honorary title of

the title.

I saw a lot of plums and plouts, including delectible looking Italian
plums (which I usually call prune plums), at the farmer's market today. I
don't know what the problem is with your market. Are most of yours from
the foothills?

MOST of them are from the foothills, yes, but some of them are from the
valley, e.g. Yuba City, Sheridan, Woodland, and Wheatland. I have no
explanation for plums' absence from the farmers' market here these last
couple weeks. Maybe they just command higher prices elsewhere. (Or maybe I'm
going to the wrong market! We have farmers' markets on Sunday, Monday,
Tuesday, Wednesday, and two different ones on Saturday, but I only visit the
Tuesday market because it's best for my schedule. Maybe they're sold out by
Tuesday.)

Maybe you should read the *complete* thread before jumping in with both
feet.

I never do, never shall. It's only by accident that I know you figured out
you were wrong and apologized, but if you hadn't been so acerbic and quick
to jump in the first place, it wouldn't have been necessary.
So, yes, do you have to? Do you have to leap in like the caped crusader
every time YOU THINK someone has done something you don't like? I would
rather read a post about summery fruits in mid-January than the list of
desperate measures being taken in snowy northern towns.

My peach tree has just ripened as it always does on October 1+. I have to
pick, peel and freeze quickly even though peach season is supposed to be
July, right? I leave tomorrow on a jaunt and I'll never finish in time.

I always do, never shan't. But when I discover that I'm wrong, I immediately
admit it and apologize. How many here can say the same?

I hope I would, but then I don't usually jump on anybody with malice

In this case, you joined the discussion to criticize the fact that I posted
hastily -- while at the same time admitting that you ALWAYS post before
reading the entire thread. I find humor in that.

Except I would not post innuendo, criticism (unless one specifically asked
for) or accusations, which is what Wayne and I both are referring to.

I'm not sure what response you expect to that. I'm sure you don't expect me
to pledge never to post such things again, and I've already apologized for
my earlier post.

In NY prune plums are those I see the least, they are not very popular
to eat out of hand (most are used to make, um, prunes), but there are
many other plum varieties and they are available all year. Usta be
one couldn't find fresh berries, melons, pears, apples, citrus, etc.,
etc. out of season but that's not the case anymore. Since the advent
of air freight and hi-tech refrigeration there is very little seasonal
produce anymore. When plum season ends in the northern hemisphere
plenty of plums are available in the southern hemisphere. I see all
kinds of plums in the market all year, just may cost a bit more for
imports, and when there's a glut from a good crop imports cost less.
Chile is now out producing CA in produce production. The baboon
assface is rfc's least informed least educated, what a prune brained
nincompoop... actually has a brain like a Thompson seedless, dried.

Not all plum varieties ripen at the same time, various kinds ripen
over about 6 months, and commercial growers harvest not quite ripe and
store in huge computer controlled climatized warehouses... today fresh
plums can easily keep three months after harvest... and the same on
the opposite hemisphere. North American grown plums are in season May
through October, South American plums are in season October through
May... air freight operates all year... South Americans buy North
American plums during their winter months... air freight flies both
directions. A lot of produce is also shipped as ocean freight... much
of the US citrus arrives by sea from Central America... banana boats
too. Fresh tropical fruit is available in US markets all year.

That's what I would expect, because you are close to commercial
Italian-plum ground zero.

Oddly enough I never had a fresh prune plum until just a few years ago.
I'll have to ask my mom if they were sold fresh when I was a kid.

How soon they forget the Santa Clara prune. Source of the first boom
in Silicon Valley, French and South Slav (mostly Dalmatian)
orchardists came well over a century ago to grow the French prune
(plum in English). The value of the crop in dried form reached $10
million in 1911.

Plaque in San Jose park commemorating pioneer French prunegrower Louis
Pellier:

"Pellier, native of France, and founder of California's prune
industry, came to California in 1849. In October 1850, he established
a nursery called "City Gardens" on this site. Here, aided by his
brothers Pierre and Jean, he introduced the French Prune, "La Petite
D'Agen," during the winter of 1856-57."
