Hi All,

Are the hoarders going to buy out all the green
house plants too? Or just seeds?

Lefts hope I can get some peppers and cherry tomatoes.

Weird the things folks are hoarding. Eggs and dairy?
Those things spoil!

We seed savers are just (upstate NY) starting tomatos. And testing
older seed-some 16-year-old romaine is germinating nicely.

I had to do something like that with snap pea seeds that
ranged from three to five years old. I keep checking on
them, but only a few have poked through the dirt so far.
Keeping fingers crossed.

Except for a few seeds that a neighbor picked up for me
over the past couple of months, I'm mostly having to
rely on older leftover seeds.

My other neighbor who usually orders for both of us from
Pinetree Seeds, was dealing with her husband's illness
(he passed away last month) and never got around to making
the order. My other in-person source(s) have both gone out
of business.

With the lockdown, I haven't ventured out far enough to
check the big box stores nor my other source for plants
and seeds that's 45 miles away.

I'm dealing with things as best I can and have two vegetable
beds planted with snap peas (which may or may not work), two
types of lettuce, and broccoli.

Nyssa, who also has started some tomato and pepper seeds
from last year and has hopes that they'll do the job

Based on my relatives postings on Facebook, everyone is planting a
garden and trying to raise chickens.

If you can, buy some produce in the store. Save the seeds and plant them.

We had 2 dozen eggs for maybe 10 days, but my son ate a bunch of them
yesterday!

We've done both off and on for years. My son recently bought 10 egg
layer chicks and is raising them, now.

Â* I had horrible germination rates on my slicing tomatoes and the 3
kinds of peppers I planted . I've already talked to my plant guru and
will be picking up some seedlings in a few days . But for right now ,
our hens have been outproducing our appetite for eggs , I'm thinking
about beating a bunch and freezing them in a muffin tin . Then I can pop
'em out and bag them for later .

We used to outproduce out need and/or want for eggs, too. Friends wanted
to buy them from us, so, occasionally we'd take some cash for eggs and
put that $ into buying either scratch, or bedding for the chickens.

our son gave us a small chest unit that he no longer needs . Might as
well fill it up .

pretties color purple!

We'll probably have some eggs in 5 or 6 months once these hen chicks
come of age.

I apparently do not know how to save seeds as
mine never germinate or if the do, they die shortly
