| The only fresh
water spring in Attard which, before buildings gradually took
over from the land, used to serve the fertile fields around
it. Much of the occupational activity in and around Attard was
taken up by farming, sowing and the harvest of different crops.
There would have been goatherds and flocks of sheep, horses,
mules, asses and also some cattle. The main crops grown were
vegetables of all kinds, potatoes, tomatoes, water melons; many
vines and olive trees along with several large citrus orchards
- oranges, lemons and tangerines, especially in the gardens
of private mansions. |
