My mother and our maid were veterans of vegetable gardens, like those in 
the USA during World War II, which they abandoned but every summer the 
one thing we had in over abundance on our land was: blueberries. We had 
blueberry pies, blueberry muffins, you name every thing we ate had 
blueberries in it. We even had blueberry soup. In another place were we 
lived we had plums and pecans, more pecans and plums. We even had a dog 
who adored plums that could jump higher than his fence in the yard to 
shake the branches. Still in another home, we had peaches, peaches and 
cream, peach shortcake, peaches in pork, peach muffins, peaches, peaches 
and sugar and more peaches. We had so many peaches, Mother bought a 
freezer so we could have them 12 months of year and still had plenty to 
just give away!
