Pictured above are beautiful plums. Plums range in taste from sweet to tart. They are wonderful in desserts as well and in savory dishes.
Among the stone fruits, apricots are usually the first to appear on the scene. They have a very short season lasting at the most 6 weeks.
And peaches began to ripen in June and continue all the way through October, depending on the peach variety.
Wishing Everyone an Abundance of Saturday Smiles!
Hi Ron and Alexandra, Thanks for sharing these delicious looking fruits. I can't wait until these fresh fruits are available around here. We just picked up our first fresh strawberries and blueberries.

Bob Crane I am happy that you are enjoying strawberries and blueberries. Wishing you a delightful Sunday.
Ed Silva I love all the summer bounties, they mark the joy of the season as it evolves. A
Kathy Streib I love a good fruit salad, and we use frest fruit with our yogurt in the morning. Looking forward to buying some more tomorrow. A
Jeffrey DiMuria 321.223.6253 Waves Realty it depends on the type of plum. We have a Santa Rosa whose output is over in two weeks. I think it is the sweetest of the plums in my opinion...A
Sheri Sperry - MCNE® we love them all, and we on occasion overbuy them. A
Will Hamm as I recall from your posts, you are fond of some special Colorado peaches and make peach pies for friends and clients. A
Debb Janes EcoBroker and Bernie Stea JD I completely forgot about grilled peaches. I will wait for the big ones, they are perfect for the grill. Thank you for the reminder. A
Kat Palmiotti We had both a plum and a nectarine tree in Los Angeles that we planted. We had to net them once the fruit showed up. Otherwise within a couple of hours all the fruit was gone, and the birds would be drunk on the fruit juice...A

Ron and Alexandra Seigel I like apricots in any form... dried, in a cobbler, in a tart, fresh, in a jam. And for someone who is not a big fruit eater, that's saying a lot!
Wayne Martin I hope you find all those in your stores or Farmers Markets, they are the essence of summer. A
Bill Salvatore - YVP Blog I am hoping they are available in your neck of the woods, for both us they represent the taste of summer. A
Roy Kelley I am waiting for June 15th before venturing to the Farmers Market, and hope there will be a relaxed atmosphere. A
Lawrence "Larry" & Sheila Agranoff. Cell: 631-805-4400 Thank you for your comment, this is one of highlights of the summer season. Happy Sunday. A
The produce at your local Farmers Market always looks like perfection, Alexandra. You are truly living in the heart of bread basket of California.
Ron and Alexandra Seigel I have never heard of plums, apricots, and peaches being called stone fruits before, so I learned something new today.
Ron and Alexandra:
What tasty, beautiful photos! Stone fruits are a big item at our Farmer's Markets right now. Who can resist?!
