. . . . . THE QUINTESSENTIAL BABA GARDEN
Dill: freeze the feathers “to get more taste out of it” and use in borscht. Carrot tops: make long-lasting greenery in cut flower arrangements. Horseradish: Add this leaf instead of alum when making pickles to keep cucumbers crisp. “I like to see who tells me I can’t have my cucumbers and zucchini and onions any more!” she laughs. “They’ll carry me out barefeet first from my garden! Young people should get in the dirt a little bit. If you need help, you better ask a baba quick before it’s too late!” Watch for the Saskatoon HOME summer issue feature on community and container gardening. Karin Melberg Schwier
