South Side Market

Today my husband and I ventured out to the South Side Market in search of plants to complete our garden. The South Side Farmers Market is located at 3300 Warsaw Street right here in Fort Wayne. Beginning in the 1920s, it is one of Fort Wayne's oldest markets. The market runs from the Saturday before Easter through the Saturday before Thanksgiving, and is open from 7am - 1pm.



Of course the market offered produce, vegetable plants, fresh cut flowers, beautiful decorative plants for the flower garden, and my favorite herbs.



We bought sweet bell pepper plants, summer squash, zucchini, roma tomato plants, jalapeno pepper plants, rosemary, spicy basil, lavender, thai pepper plants, and most exciting of all strawberry plants.

The vendors were friendly and knowledgeable. They had a wonderful variety of plants.

My husband and I went in search of plants, but there was a lot to distract us from our mission.



Vintage kitchenware, various collectibles, and even an antique hand crank washer wringer were some of treasures we saw at the market today.



There was even an old time lunch counter with a small dining area surrounded by beautiful flowers. We will definitely be visiting this market again.
