Gossett Bros Nursery

While driving Route 35 through South Salem last week, I happened upon Gossett Brothers Nursery as I enjoy browsing rows of flowers and will pull over at any chance to do so. The Hudson Valley must have some fine soil, proper rain and good morning sun because the entire outside was bursting with colorful plant life. Inside the shop, I would liken to a thrift store as there are many household items for sale that appear to be older in design and structure.
When I read the 40% OFF all vegetable sign, I scampered as fast as my feet would carry me to the appropriate section, located off to the side of the main building. The tops of the green grape tomato plants appeared to have been a midnight snack for some neighborhood deer, but I found two that were not nibbled upon. Should I buy pumpkin and cantaloupe plants? At these prices, why not? So I took one of each and two Scotch Bonnet Pepper plants, all totaled under $ 17.00.
Once transposed into my garden, the pumpkin and cantaloupe have grown ten fold, the vines are growing at an almost story book pace and heading towards my other vegetables, a detour may be needed. Overall, a wonderful nursery and great prices, the plants all have taken well at their new home and have already begun to produce some produce.
