Title: Free Plums Essex
Post by: Maddox on August 21, 2009, 01:44:02 pm

Hello all

I have a large plum tree which is full with fruit, some have started rotting on the branches and it breaks my heart to see them go to waste, if anyone would like to come round they can take as many as they like.

I am located just outside Chelmsford Essex (CM3)

My neighbour sells hers by the gate. You could put them in a big box, with some freezer bags, and ask people to help themselves, and pay a little fee towards your bags etc., like an honesty box.  I am sure they would go!
It seems a shame for them to go to waste.
