COURT HOUSE – If you know a secret beach plum bush laden with sweet berries, pluck a half-cup and take them to the Rutgers Cooperative Extension Office, care of Jenny Carleo, Agricultural Agent of Cape May County. 355 Court House-S. Dennis Rd. Cape May Court House N.J. 08210.
From today until September 15, the Cape May County Board of Agriculture and Beach Plum Association of Cape May County will be conducting its annual beach plum tasting contest.
Beach plums are judged for sweetness and size. Their finder will earn $100.00 and a trophy awarded at the Cape May County Board of Agriculture’s Annual dinner.
It is important to keep track of the tree’s location for future propagation.
There is no limit to the number of times a person may enter.
Beach plums are sought to make delicious, jams, juices and preserves, which many believe are unique in flavor.
Wildwood Crest – I believe there is a report that the Administration is thinking about taking some Palestinians into the country as refugees. Why not? They let in over 7 million that have come from many countries.
