MIDWEEK MINI MARKET

MIDWEEK MINI MARKET - 15

By Dr. R Sudarshan

The fruiting season is just about to end. Trees have shed most of their magnum opus and birds are brushing their feathers to fly back to another home. Rainwater is again looking downwards to fall from its cloudy grace. The trees have begun to bear golden-yellow leaves in the middle of these. The end of a quick era. The beginning of a new time.

Tomorrow at 8 AM, we assemble again for the midweek mini market. And it is the 15th week. Regardless of changing nature, it is our continued constancy of human transaction.

LITTLE ANUSHKA'S WEDNESDAY DIARY

By Dr. R Sudarshan

Anushka is turning into the 'human face of the midweek mini market'. She brings her farm produce, pampers the insects of our front garden, plays with jackfruit glue, and helps out in floor management.

A young Professor of an Engineering College, who never misses the Wednesday market, asked for a small cabbage today.

There wasn't any on the shelf as the new crop at the farm is rather young.

Anushka harvested a cabbage head from the Farmer's House front garden pot, peeled the extra foliage, helped clean it, and passed it on to the Professor.

Working with a farm excited young person is like revisiting life all over again. Naturally.

COMMUNITY DIALOGUE - 1

By Dr. R Sudarshan EATING CLEAN: COMMUNITY DIALOGUE - 1; Featured Speaker - Sindhu Ramachandra; Friday, 15 July 2022 at 5:30 PM E ating clean is a lifestyle fundamental, easily ignored and abused in the fast lane of tongue temptations. And the long convoluted tube that we call 'gut' is often turned into a gutter that is forced to process what it is not meant for - synthetic food, herbicides, pesticides, and life-threatening substances. Sindhu is a biochemist with work experience from IISc. She pursues data science and AI in the context of biochemistry. An ardent believer in organic farming, she cares for clean foods. And she knows how unclean foods can turn your life upside down. Community Dialogues at the Farmer's House are an engagement with reason to restore the dignity of life. Come, listen, interact and benefit. Attendance is FREE. Register with Gagan at 97421 62956. * * * Farmer's House, Silverfish Books, Kutz Bowl and the Farmer's Market, # 1A, 13th Cross,...

A CURATOR'S AMARYLLIS

By Dr. R Sudarshan T he maiden book of the Silverfish Books curator ( https://www.amazon.in/Beauty-Queen-Pathway-Pageantry-Sudarshan/dp/9390924103 ) was published by Amaryllis in August 2021. To commemorate the day of publication, we planted Amaryllis at our farm. Some 8 months later, the Amaryllis has begun to bloom at the farm, coinciding with our curator's signing an agreement with Trinidad and Tobago in the wider Caribbean to provide them her mentorship in pageantry, based on her book. Coincidences are as impossible to explain as the spirit of symbolism is. Nonetheless, the book is now a milestone in the life avenue of Silverfish and the Amaryllis flower now is a milestone at the farm that's an integral part of our bookstore.

THE CURIOUS CASE OF CULANTRO

By Dr R Sudarshan Y es. Culantro and not Cilantro. The long distance cousin of coriander that came from Mexico in the middle centuries to Europe and landed in India approximately some 300 to 400 years ago along with its Mediterranean cousin Cilantro, the coriander. Culantro is relatively rare but so much more stronger than coriander that once you are used to this, coriander recedes to a second choice. A couple of Culantro plants have been taken to the farm and are growing impressively well. Probably, there will be lots of seeds in a few weeks, so that we could propagate and feature the leaves in the weekly market too. And one plant of Culantro has prospered well in a pot at the store too.
