[Sca-cooks] food on St Val's day

[AEllin Olafs dotter]

OK... I'm curious. I don't know much about gardens, but I'd always heard 
that they were good examples of Medieval ones - but now, of course, 
don't know if that was merely an assumption or what. Since, if I want to 
hang out in a garden on a sunny day (well, a somewhat warmer sunny 
day...) they're one of my options *G* I'd like to know about them.

Come to think of it, one, at least, is laid out in the geometric pattern 
that you (?) said earlier was more modern...   What about the espaliered 
apple tree? On the (I think) North / Northwest wall - in the sun and out 
of the wind howling down the Hudson?  I've been told that's a classic 
example of  what they were doing... but my source knew plant science 
more than medieval history of gardening, though he was interested in both.
