MARKET of the MONTH Managing ed, Taryn, lives for her next meal and is constantly planning her life around where and what to eat next Riversands Farm Village Market iversands Farm Village Market is the perfect family day out. Unlike the other hip Jozi markets, like Neighbourgoods or Fourways Farmers Market, it offers ample spaceandcountryairwhereelbow-bustling andseat-searchingarenotonthemenu.It’s old-school,retro,abithippyandnostalgic. Thefarm’shistorybeganin1947when Granny LeMay sold her home-made chicken pies on the side of what was then a dirt road – William Nicol Drive. Over time, the farm grew into one of the irst free-range chicken farms in SA; but, with the growth of Fourways, the animalsweremovedonandthefaceof thefarmchanged. OpeneverySunday,wepicktheonededicatedtodogs,and excitableyapsaboundasweenter.WeirstpullintoTheThirsty Garage, where refreshments perch atop a novelty petrol pump. Water purchased, we meander around the market, noting wares to pursue and nibbles to savour later on. Little ones pass by on a pony being led by a groom and a watchful dad closely in tow. Scatteredthroughoutthemarketareavarietyofstallsselling “Most of the stalls are housed in corrugated-iron stands, enhancing the farm-style appeal” everything from repurposed old furniture at Nostalgic Stuff, to art and handmade clothes, vintage posters, jewellery and, because today is for the fur babies, doggie delights galore.

We stumble across The Pancake Pantry, offering the ideal treat for a Sunday morning.

THIS MONTH, JANE GRIFFITHS, AUTHOR OF JANE’S DELICIOUS URBAN GARDENING, OFFERS US SOME HELPFUL HINTS ON WHICH VEGGIES THRIVE DURING WINTER, AND TIPS ON KEEPING THOSE GARDENS ALIVE AND WELL THROUGHOUT THE COLD MONTHS AND BEYOND BY JANE GRIFFITHS PHOTOGRAPHS BY JANE GRIFFITHS AND KEITH KNOWLTON For many years, I grew only herbs and greens in my vegetable garden during winter. Summer vegetables seemed more fun and winter became a time of dormancy for me and my garden. That all changed after I planted broccoli for the first time. It quickly grew into a luscious bed of edible heads. But, the best surprise was how prolific they were – as long as I kept snipping off the delicious side shoots before they flowered, we ate nutritious broccoli for months. Parsnips, cabbages, kale, carrots and leeks all become sweeter after a touch of frost. We are lucky in South Africa in that we can grow food year round. There are plenty of vegetables that not only thrive in colder weather, but taste better after a touch of frost: parsnips, cabbages, kale, carrots and leeks all become sweeter as the cold encourages them to covert starch to sugar. Source: Jane’s Delicious Urban Gardening by Jane Grifiths; janesdeliciousgarden.com WHAT TO PLANT Although June is too cold in most areas to sow seeds, there are plenty of seedlings that can be transplanted. These include: Asian greens (bok choi, mizuna, mustard and tatsoi), beetroot, cabbage, coriander, kale, lettuce, oregano, parsley, spinach, Swiss chard and thyme. WINTER TIPS Mulch, mulch and more mulch! Adding organic matter (dry leaves, compost or straw) to the surface of beds is one of the simplest things to do, yet it makes a world of difference. Mulching: it warmer in winter à In dry areas, water deeply and less frequently, rather than shallowly more often. This encourages strong roots. If you want to grow frost-sensitive plants (like chillies) throughout winter, plant them in containers placed in aprotected,sunnyspot.Moveindoors or cover with frost protection at night. Forget Angry Birds –awintergarden attracts hungry birds. Louries and mousebirds can decimate an entire bed of cabbages, caulilower or shiny CDs, twirly scarecrows and smelly seaweed spray, but none deterred ravenous, mid-winter birds once they discovered my garden. So, now, I cover up more vulnerable plants with bird netting. I use worn-down grass brooms with wooden handles to support it. The wooden handles are pushed irmly into the ground and the remaining bristles on the top hold the netting in place. Now, during winter, my garden looks as if a coven of witches is visiting – but no birds can get in! foodandhome.co.za JUNE 2016 21
