Of mulberries and mehndi
Aug 3rd, 2008 by Suzanne Long
Ayup. Spadina Saturdays are wonderfully unpredictable. I’d thought we were in for a quiet day but the Rexdale Women’s Centre visit to the museum livened things up considerably. Learned that ’setur’ is another name for mulberries. I’ve got my fingers crossed for a repeat visit from Prasanna and her posse.
A mulberry sampler pack was, again, a fast seller at the market. And we had several baskets of apples, courtesy our newest star picker. They were great eating apples, called Early Mac. Lots of other market table produce too: Savoy and the football-shaped Early Jersey Wakefield cabbages, Stringless Green and yellow Ice beans (nicely pre-picked by Spadina staff), Summer and Golden Ball turnip, curly kale and onions. Didn’t have time to pull together our usual small flower bunches but they were sure missed. Next time!
