When Henry VIII wasn't busy ruling England, chopping off heads, chasing women, gambling, or being a brute he was... planting cherries? Yes! It was good ole Hank who introduced the fruit to England! He had tasted them in Flanders and ordered that they be planted throughout his realm:) PS. All followers of this blog will be automatically entered into my monthly giveaway!
