Our favorite place to get veggie starts for our garden is a place called Minto Island Growers, which is located just south of Salem, Oregon. It is an amazing place to hang out and they have a great selection of veggie starts this time of year for folks who are into home gardening. Check them out if you are in the area.
Per Minto Island Growers’ website, “Minto Island Growers is a diversified farm and nursery located in South Salem next to Minto Brown Island Park. We take great pride in growing organic produce for the Salem community and beyond, through our CSA program, the Salem Saturday Market and the Farm Stand just 10 minutes from downtown Salem. We are humbled to steward this land which has been a part of the Miller family farm since the 1970s. Join us picking blueberries, eating at the Food Cart during the summer season, or getting the best of what our farm produces by participating in our season CSA program which as been operating since 2011.”
In this round of veggie starts, we got an artichoke, a couple of broccolis, a half-dozen snap peas, and a couple of kale starts. You can see them in the embedded video below via the Older Muscles YouTube channel:
