2020-02-15 Fruit Walls

The Low Tech Magazine surprises me every time I stumble upon one of its pages. Today: Fruit Walls: Urban Farming in the 1600s. The image of a maze of courtyards, each a protected little space built to raise peaches along the walls and “apples, pears, raspberries, vegetables and flowers” in the central (colder) part... And the German army avoiding the area probably because it must have seemed such an impenetrable area, full of ambush possibilities and practically no line of sight. All of this I find fascinating.
