>they didn't include the glass gardens in the show
They had a giant greenhouse and the entire castle is heated by a hotspring's water being pumped through the walls. Also, its a fantasy novel, they have crops that grow in the cold. They don't bother showing it in the show, but Winterfell was surrounded by tons of smaller walled towns which grew food, called holdfasts or holdings. They'd contribute their surplus crops to Winterfell through out summer and then when winter hits, they're allowed inside the castle to live off of the stockpiled supplies.
>Also, its a fantasy novel, they have crops that grow in the cold.
No they don't. It's mentioned loads of times in the books and the show that they have to get harvests before winter sets in. Apart from that your comment is accurate. It's a shame you had to ruin it by making shit up.
Yeah, but it is ALWAYS cold in the north. It routinely snows even in summer there. Besides, there are some crops even in real life that grow well enough in the cold.
It’s a castle/seat of government. There’s supposed to be a town right next to it called the winter town or something since it’s mostly empty in the summer as everyone is out working farms. When there’s a battle at the siege of winterfell a lot of the fighting happens in the town.
I've hated him for so long now that I've grown out of it. At this point I'd be happy if he just finally admitted that he's never going to finish the series. Then maybe he'll write a few more stories in his Thousand Worlds universe, since his science fiction stuff was always way better than his fantasy.
How realistic is that a medieval society could last for several years straight of winter? Pretty sure they describe the snow piling up to the castle walls as well. I can’t imagine a lot of the northern land next to a giant ice wall is very fertile either
ass
THE BOAR
snow
Dominos.
How come the Godswood is so tiny here, but the acenes in the show make it seem like a proper forest? This looks like a garden
Plenty of farms around Winterfell. The land is farmable enough in summer. They also talk about "glass houses" for plants.
This overhead is probably more accurate.
how the frick are there direwolves living in the little walled garden? what do they eat? how did they get in there?
they have trees dude.
There are many towns that work for them, you would assume nearby farmers come there and sell food.
Snow farmers?
They farm before winter sets just like irl peasants did
thier entire family motto is literally the ant and the grasshopper
Castles would have large stores of food which they would collect as tax from surrounding villages.
Highgarden... home.

how convenient for the tax obsessed freak

Can't you see the walled green space on the left? More than enough to grow veggies, fruits, breed pigs or whatever, keep bees, etc.
That's a wood
Yes, and?
I don't know if Winterfell is a city or just a fort but grain is the basis for a larger society to function and you either grow it or import it

you are a shitty farmer
Just chop down 1 tree out of 2 and it's perfect.
By medieval standards there must be 100 people max in a fortress that size.
Look at the space you need for a smallholding or a homestead to feed one family.
pusy
Gandalf orders menulog and the eagles deliver it.
next question.
My man literally invested dozens of pages telling you.
In time, I grew to hate him.

just looks like northern scotland to me
Why would you waste to much resources to defend the woods? So much room that could be used for storage of grains and housing, ridiculous.
...have you watched this show?
because the red tree in the middle is a sacred religious icon that's extremely rare and used for prayers
Then I'd just attack that area in particular, will break their spirit, the tree can't move and I can just use trebuchets to rain fire on it.
black people
way to much cholesterol
cholesterol and fat is good in snowy climates, it's why eskimos eat seal blubber and black people
pale sticky princes

completely unrealistic. food would have to be grown in the summer and then stored. it would perish long before the winter is over.
