The climate this year is strange. Usually, we can see fireflies until mid-July, with the peak being between June 20th and July 10th, when they seem to dance down from the sky. However, this year they have decreased significantly over the past week, and their light has become weaker. The plum trees produced fruit, but it disappeared before we knew it. A local grandmother told me that her plums also fell off while still unripe. I haven't seen many plums at the supermarket either, so I won't be able to make plum wine this year. The mulberries haven't grown at all either.
FAQ
Why can't you make plum wine this year?
Because the plums fell off the trees while still unripe, making it impossible to harvest them.
