In mid-August I went on a week's road trip across Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia. It was great, although I wish we'd had more time, since there were some great things that were off the beaten path that we weren't able to see.
However, one night we stopped in Parnu, a beach resort town in Estonia, about halfway between Riga and Tallinn. While wandering there I saw this fence:
While it's not the lovely brick walled garden fence of my dreams, it doesn't look half bad. And it would be a hell of a lot cheaper and faster to erect than brick. So perhaps we could compromise... put fence like this between most of the pillars, with solid brick walls in just a few sections. That way we'd still have area to grow fruit against the walls, but without it completely breaking the bank, which a fully enclosed bricked walled garden will sadly do.
