Most of our local Farmers Markets in Kitsap County have now started up for the season and the ones that haven’t yet, will soon be open. Farmers Markets are a wonderful place to shop for plants during April and May. There are many small growers in Kitsap county that sell only through the Farmers Markets, selling everything from vegetable seedlings to trees to special perennials. The prices are usually a bargain, compared to shopping at the local large Garden Centers and sometimes even better that the Big Box stores like Walmart or Home Depot.
Many Farmers sell their extra vegetable starts and you can find some really unique varieties. Unlike the local nurseries, who all get their vegetable starts from a handful of large growers, that grow a limited number of varieties, the farmers who grow starts will offer a much wider choice. They try to grow interesting and unusual vegetables for their produce customers in the summer, so their plants are frequently the hottest and newest varieties available or gourmet, unusually colored varieties. Many of them use Territorial Seeds, so these plants are meant to bear crops well in the Pacific Northwest.
