October Review and a Peak into 2018
“Mesquite in October” seemed almost as odd as “Christmas in July”, considering June is the main month for harvesting Mesquite pods. So I was surprised when four different venues ask me to give a Mesquite workshop this month. When I saw how many people came out to these events and how interested they were to discover this abundant food that grows all around them, I quickly realized that the pods don't need to be hanging on the tree in order to tell people about them! Thankfully I had harvested plenty of pods in June so that everyone could taste them. It was really exciting and rewarding every time someone tasted a pod, a pinch of flour or a sip of nectar and exclaimed with a surprised look, "It’s sweet!" Yes it is and it's the best kept secret in town! I'm more determined than ever to keep spreading the word about the edible Mesquite pods, any time of the year !
