Sam loves u-pick eating. Early this spring Papa gave him a lowquat off the tree. Now the gummies and blackberries have come in, and Sam is all about picking his own fruit. He eats the ripe ones, the green ones, the pits, the leaves, occasionally some mulch.
To him, this is the important thing: "I do it myself, mamma". In other words, "Back off, lady; I'm eating here."
The gummi is an important Maples tradition. The bush, as far as Mr. George legendgoes, is a kin to the Russian Olive. All I know is that it is good eating and spitting. Yummy, gummies.
P.S. I'm sorry to my Facebook friends, who apparently can't see the pictures. If you ever travel away from Facebook, try the full-color version at lizmaples.blogspot.com.
