Last fall I moved into an apartment with a plum tree in the front yard. I don’t know anything about plants or trees or fruit, and now that summer is here there are hundreds of plums dangling off this tree. They’re attracting millions of ants, as well as raccoons, possums, rats, and a few bold humans who I’ve caught plucking from the tree.

I guess I like plums? But there’s around a week left until they all fall to the ground and become a horrifying slurry, and I’d rather avoid that.

Any suggestions?

TLDR: Have plum tree, it’s bursting with plums, no idea what to do in order to avoid ant apocalypse

      Lemon seeds contain pectin, this is just a natural way to extract it. You can get the same effect from using pectin instead of gelatine in your jam.
