Bardsey Island Apples

It rained until late morning, I was busy de-cluttering upstairs.

Planted out 3 different types of kale in the deep bed behind the garage which had potatoes in. Asparagus kale - a new one this year (free seeds from GIY - http://www.giyinternational.org), dwarf curly kale - which was a failure last year and my old favourite Cavollo Nero, https://www.blipfoto.com/entry/2905141, which usually does well in our harsh conditions!

Picked more field beans, then used their support sticks in the big tub of purple podded peas - they've been battered by the wind. The radish sown a few weeks ago are also doing well and I picked a handful of them, they are very spicy!

Still eating strawberries and raspberries from the garden, I don't recall having so many - the blackbirds don't seem to be around to eat them!

During the evening I covered a very thick book in crumpled brown paper - it's another display prop for the jewellery stall and will hold some fancy bookmarks I'm making - photo when completed.

Looks like a good year for apples on the little Bardsey Apple tree, an eating apple and very nice flavour.
