Lots of people must be growing veggies now.

Every time I go to Dollar Tree the seeds are just gutted.

Califreak:" Lots of people must be growing veggies now."

Gardening with seeds is a high return for low money investment , especially if you don't believe the government statistics on inflation .
General Rule for Gardening:
Hybrids = hybrid vigor / larger plants , generally more productive than standard varieties , but can't keep for subsequent seed production.
Standard /Heirlooms = consistant flavor, generally smaller food production , and when allowed to go to seed , the seed will produce plant consistant with the 'mother' plant.
Rotate crop locations to prevent disease spread in plant families (ie: tomatoes,peppers, potatoes), as well as to release additional soil nutirents.
Try to grow some of both hybrid varieties and standard/ heirloom varieties - but maintain seclusion distance for plant/seed purity.
