There was an apple festival being held this weekend at a place called Tretower castle up in the Brecon Beacon so we decided to take Saturday afternoon and check it out. The festival was ok - it could have been a lot better with more vendors but the kids still had fun trying some unique types of apples, watching the entertainment, making apple bird feeders and exploring the grounds.
Probably the highlight of the day was the medival garden and what we found out to be a mulberry tree growing with mulberries ripe for the picking. Kelly and I had only ever heard of a mulberry bush in the nursery ryme. Why these trees are not more popular is supprising. The sweet juicy berries are spectacular. The darker the berry the more ripe it is, and the sweeter it is.
