As we see, the nuns did what they could to provide for themselves with fruit and nut trees and berry bushes-big perennial plants. Imagine how much they were cultivating of annuals, like food crops, vegetables. Until there were not enough young nuns left to do that kind of hard labor. That’s probably when they sold the vegetable plots to the farmer next door. A local arborist or horticulturist or versatile farmer could help you rescue those healthy, food bearing trees and berry bushes. Please, please don’t get back there with machines hacking everything down! Get the weedy overgrowth out, set in some garden paths-which may be there now concealed, well overgrown-and you’ll have a lovely, rustic garden. Rehabilitate the grotto and area around it with a water feature and you’ll have a truly special meditation garden.

Bravo! Excellent beginning to understanding the convent garden - and thank you so much for taking us on this little tour of the entire garden and especially the hidden areas in the back. My guess is that you will find more species of apple, pear, soft fruit, and nut still thriving as you explore the overgrown areas. You may even be lucky enough when rummaging through the wildness of the garden to find evidence of plants tended by the nuns - as you are seeing with the fruit trees. Some woody herbs can live for quite a long time especially in a sheltered wall garden. As well, somewhere on the grounds should be the remains of a chicken coop and likely an apiary. There appear to be small outbuildings along the walls - explore please! As you can begin to see from your measurements, the structure of the garden is both formal and practical (very French) - traditional gardens were and are now designed on a grid for planning and picking. Check the old photo for exactly what each garden square contained - I'm fairly certain you can get a good idea of the plants the nuns were cultivating from the picture. Each square would be edged, cornered, or centered by a fruit tree both for decoration and produce. Each large square would have been divided into four equal squares for culinary and medicinal herbs or plants maintained on a smaller scale, or into long parallel lines for row crops. Create a clear overlay from that old photo and impose over a current image and you will save yourself time. Bonne chance and I'm so envious of your new adventures!

The "fur" disappears as the fruit turns yellow and ripens... peeled and cored then poached with sugar in water or white wine, fruit and syrup turn a beautiful rose pink colour, serve with ice-cream or cream for a wonderful dessert.

Am sure the fuzzy skin pear is a quince which need to be cooked before eating as a raw quince is hard, sour, astringent and really high in tannins that if eaten raw will make you feel like you're choking. Once cooked the tannins break down and the flesh becomes very tender, pink and fragrant. Quinces are great for making tarts, jellies, jams and other preserves.
