I read an interesting story about plums. In a past time Britain was waging war against France. We had an alliance with Portugal. One of their ships came to the River Fal. The sailors had brought some plums to eat. The stones were thrown overboard. Somehow they survived the salt water and grew into plum trees on the river bank. Now Lord Falmouth still has a plum orchard of these Kea plums. They are small and sour for eating but they are good for expensive jam. Years ago Lord Falmeth had extensive land and many workers. They also ate his plums and threw away the stones. Now we see Kea plum trees hiding in old hedges far from the River Fal. There isn't one in Portugal any more but I have an old one in my garden, in the hedge, with few plums!
