I like your pictures. You say Plum Island is not and island? Not true. Do you go over a bridge to get to the island? Yes, you do.Is it surounded by water? yes it is.
I have been spending every summer there as far back as 1957.

Your photos and recipes always make me drool — usually for the food, lately for the beach, and today for your picnic basket! Will you tell where it came from or must it be a secret?

I used to go to Plum Island when I was a child. I love that it was a lot less populated than Hampton Beach (which I still dislike.)

That said, we used to pick beach plums there, about 20 years ago. I do not know if there are still beach plums around; locals may not tell you if you ask in order to keep them a secret (it’s the same at the Cape.)

Keep an eye out for them though. They make excellent plum kuchen. They grow on shrubs, not trees. I’ve included a website so you can identify them: http://www.hort.cornell.edu/extension/commercial/fruit/mfruit/beachplum.html.

By my calculations, tomorrow would be next Sunday! You are so lucky to have such a fantastic place so close by to go to and the ability to enjoy all it’s seasons! I love end of the summer on the beach! And I love your tart. Next year, I am going to put out at least 6 tarragon plants. My one this year just struggled – so I must put out enough so that one finds the right spot.
