- Young people are now watching the food, said the seller of cabbage and greens. - Take cauliflower, especially orange and purple flowers, celery, various salads.

Buyers pay almost no attention to them. Everyone has to offer and prove that he grew it in his garden. Although at a lower price than in stores.

This is the first fair in 2026 at the site of the Ice Palace. According to the sellers, buyers are still priced and buy a kilogram or two vegetables to cook. To make reserves for the winter will begin in October, when the summer season ends.

For something, for example, sweet peppers or measuring and even carrots, ready and overpay 10-20 kopecks per kilo. For a week, just today's purchases will be enough, and then again the fair on Saturday.
