In Praise of the Bramley Apple


Today we have picked the final two Blenheim Orange apples from our tree and brought in the rest of the ripe chilli's from the greenhouse. The little yellow one in the picture is outrageously hot - one of the habanero family.

However, today's blog is in praise of the Bramley apple. My neighbour's Bramley tree overhangs our garden and we are enjoying the windfalls. The first Bramley was planted two hundred years ago and this has not gone unmarked by the BBC Countryfile Magazine.
Follow this link to their article about the original Bramley tree. Our new Bramley tree has some way to go!
