Yes it did happen, and hopefully there will be more, we have been through a sustained sunny period and it was getting to be hard work keeping things adequately dampish.
Plums are falling at a good rate, there's one on the ground every time you walk past, the birds are enjoying the odd one I leave and I see the sparrows peck only the ones growing near the tops of the branches.
The branches droop nicely

Some are the size of a good apple. I have been enjoying a tomato on my toast straight from the plant

We liberated a poor long slim cayenne plant that was languishing at the garden centre, hopefully it can be coaxed into a wonderful new life

And jars of plum sauce from red plums sourced from various locations around Opotiki

Have your tomato plants ever *not* reached the roof? ;)
We had Actual Rain the other day too, it was totally weird!
LOL, they do manage that, yes. :)
