Last few years were slow for me, bumper crop in 2015. Quite a few this year, about 15 min worth of picking this evening. Too wet for wheat harvest and too nice out not to be doing something.

The plum bushes in my driveway and the ones at the farm had nothing. Late freeze got the ones at the house, and critters got the ones at the farm. The bushes at the farm are only 3 years old and just starting to produce. I do know where there is a half mile of bushes on public ground at a certain lake around us though. Unfortunately they are probably under about 20' of flood water.

Going to take a long time for that to go down I'm thinking, and be a mess for a long time afterwards.

Probably lose that thicket too, along with millions of trees and other plant life that has been underwater for almost a month now. The dead wood will probably go in controlled burns. The COE has been pretty good about doing controlled burns in the past on Kaw Lake but it's grown exponentially now.
Normal elevation for the lake is 1010'.
