#DailyHaikuPrompt - 4/5/25 - #plum
#Plum comes from two Ancient #Greek words: proûmnon (like in #English) & damaskēnós (like #Czech & #Portuguese) In many languages from Proto-Slavic "sliva".
We have more etymology maps about fruits:

Here are some plum blossoms in various colors in the castle ruins park near our house, which is between Osaka and Kyoto, quick to reach both.
The other day on the train from Kyoto, I had a funny experience with young American tourists. One said "your bag is open." Then I smiled and said "just like it has been for 40 years ... Welcome to Japan." Big smiles all around.
Making ice cream requires specialized equipment, however, whereas a parfait can be made with a mixer or electric beater (you could use a whisk, but you would need forearms like Popeye). https://www.japantimes.co.jp/life/2024/09/08/food-drink/parfait-plum-ume-dessert/ #life #fooddrink #recipe #dessert #plum #ume
I have a puzzle for all the horticulturists out there.
We bought our plum tree from Lidl 13 years ago as a Victoria plum. It has really thrived. However, it is clearly not a Victoria plum. Anyone know what it is? #Horticulture #Gardening #Plum
After the carnage...a harvest & jam.
Overnight, some critters - possibly foxes based on scat & the night camera footage - ate about half the Shiro plums from our tree.
I harvested what was left & tonight made a small batch of golden plum jam.
It tastes like sunshine.

#3goodthings Plumagedon edition. #Plum tree is loaded with plums. 1) watching birds and squirrels from my bathroom window as they feast on ripe plums every morning. 2) from the smell, a skunk is getting in on the plum feast at the ground level and 3) After canning non-stop for days, I am fairly confident that the ground in plum debris on my kitchen floor will come up without power washing! #gardening
Simple pleasures amidst all the grimness in the world.. all of these were just pruned twigs a few weeks ago from our #permaculture #biodynamic #CommunityAllotment - growing happily now and we will give these out through our #CommunityFridge and they will eventually become #pear #cherry #plum trees
It’s the first spring in many years that my plum tree has bloomed so nicely. Maybe this year I’ll actually have a chance at getting some plums?
Today my humans tried to prepare #Germknödel / #yeast #dough #dumpling with #plum for sweet #supper. They tried to prepare them a) in #milk in the #pan, b) steamed in the #foodprocessor & c) steamed in the #Ricecooker. #Pan version is best
When I pruned the fruit trees on our allotment they all looked so healthy I thought I'd try potting some up and experimenting with different rooting 'powders'. Tried cinnamon, honey and nothing. Looking pretty good so far and honey ones have made the best start #gardening #permaculture #FruitTree #plum #pear #cherry
