Plant shopping at Caboolture Markets, Qld, Australia.

in #gardening5 years ago (edited)

Afternoon steemers,
Today I went to the famous Caboolture Markets situated roughly 40 mins north of Brisbane to have a look at what plants they have available.
The variety at these markets is usually amazing and as much as I didn't find exactly what I was looking for I wasn't dissapointed.

The Bat Plant or Tacca is a plant that always catches my eye.

Plants aren't the only things at these markets they have pretty much everything you can imagine from tools to food to clothing it's all here and usually fairly priced... Especially the plants!!

The Hibiscus varieties available here are impressive, here's just a few:

Also some flowers they had drying at the stall.

The fruit and vegetables available here are also of high quality including nice healthy seedlings:

Just a small section of one of the edible plant stands, everything here is sooo cheap!

Both of these Tomato varieties are suited well to our climate.

I could have spent literally thousands on natives and edible plants here if I had the space!
There were also some nice ornamental specimens that could have picked my pockets....
Check out these Hydrangeas!!!!

Once again, really healthy and fairly priced!

When I said this place had everything, I meant it!

Cows waiting to be purchased.

Chickens, pet birds and all kinds of other livestock are up for grabs here!!

The only actual purchases I made today included:

  • Local honey
  • Carolina reaper chilli
  • Fresh garlic

I will have to stock up on potting media and return.
Stay tuned!!

Thanks for stopping by steemerenos and happy gardening,
Sam.
