    Street markets are so much more human than supermarkets. People need places to mingle and meet. Thank you, Steve.

    We really did enjoy this video, and the bonus especially, we would love to see how those plants come on. I am thinking of getting some balcony herbs as well after watching that, even if I don't eat the mint, it might be nice to smell. Loved seeing the cat as well, I did not realise she was blind, well she certainly seemed happy enough. When you bought out the bag of cat litter though, we looked at each other and thought Steve you really have lost the plot now :) Only 3 months until we are there again. Looking forward to the next video.

    Also loved the main video to, we have lots of memories of all you showed us, we have done the Monty many times usually on a wed. ( Mosta on Mondays)
    The church is fantastic, went to a wedding there about 9years back, some Maltese friends.
    Just behind where you bought the plants is a cafe and used to sell nice pastises. Good job Steve thanks.👍🇲🇹🙂

    I should visit the Birkirkara local Market one day, I have heard of that round bread with Almonds on top before, yet I have not tried it yet.
    Those Pastizzi look awesome.
    Klin = Rosemary in Maltese
    The best iced tea I ever had was at a Neapolitan pizzeria in NYC, they make it homemade, they put sprigs of mint right in the tea, if you put the right mint in and not too much of it, it makes the tea all the more better. Yummm.
    A lot of plants can be rooted like that without rooting hormone, actually rooting hormone can make some types of branches rot.

      I found almost same prices all over, sometimes you get a few bargains if they wanna clear, there is a farmers market in Ta'Qali selling 9nly maltese products that grow in Malta direct from the farmers, not much different in prices

    Hi Steve
    Just to reinforce what several of the commentators have remarked about the current health of street markets generally...they do seem to be on a very downward cycle here as well
    Lovely church.
    ,but
    I think you and I would agree...what's the point..but suppose it comforts the simple minded !
    Good gardening tips and nice if nervous cat!!
    Regards
    Peter
