Plum Festival 2006
Like last year, I went to the plum festival in Fuchu. This year I took the black crow fan I bought last time and returned it, thus completing my 1 year of good luck. After that I bought a new fan for this year. I went with a freind this year and he also bought a fan as well. Lastly, we ate lots of festivial food.
Crowded as usual

PLUMS. The plum trees in Calabasas are producing many plums this year. We have 50 elephant ears, 100 pluots, 200 santa rosas, and 500 satsumas. They all seem to be ready about this time.

Comment by Andy — 8/5/2006 @ 5:17 amAren’t satsumas a kind of orange?
Oops, Elephant Heart is a kind of large round purple plum with purple inside. Satsuma is the name of a Japanese plum as well as an orange. All large round plums with seeds that are stuck in the fruit are Japanese. European plums are oblong and the seeds are loose, good for prunes.
