Our favorite TV personality, Joanna Gaines, is a whiz at gardening. And her most recent crop? Plums straight from her own yard. The home reno guru took to social media to share footage of herself picking plums—and with it came a rare glimpse of two of her sons.
Set to Eddie Vedder’s “Dream A Little Dream,” Gaines, 46, shared a candid video of the process making what appears to be a plum jam or jelly. She captioned the Instagram post, “So far, it's been a plum good summer.”
In the clip we see the Magnolia founder, who shares five children with husband Chip Gaines—Drake, 19, Ella, 17, Duke, 16, Emmie, 14, and Crew, 6—and her sons picking plums from a tree. Cut to a clip of her two youngest sons sorting through the bushel of fruit before panning to show off her shelf full of what appears to be jarred plum jam or jelly.
The video amassed over 2.4 million views since she posted, with followers reminiscing about their memories picking plums in the comments.
“My grandma made plum jelly/jam every year that I can remember when she was alive, living in her home,” one follower wrote. “Lord I miss that stuff! I love plums!”
“Omg plums wrapped in a potato dumpling was my favorite while living in Croatia,” another shared. “Omg I'm drooling just thinking about it.” A third commented, “This brings back so many memories from my childhood. My mother and grandmother would spend a day making plum preserves and jam from the two plum trees in our backyard. Plum jam is still my favorite.”
Although it’s rare, from time to time Gaines will share sweet moments with her family. Like just last month, the Fixer Upper star shared a recap of her trip to New York City featuring Chip, Crew, and daughters Ella and Emma.
Our little farm boy loves the city like his mama and sisters,” she wrote alongside the video, which was set to Simon & Garfunkel’s “The Only Living Boy In New York.”
