A lot of people that do market gardening for a living AND use high tunnels, shop at johnny’s. They have a lot of hybrids that do well under plastic and carry/manufacture specialty tools for that. I plan on building one myself from curved pipe from a hay shed. rareseeds aka Baker Creek in Missouri is another good one(heirlooms) as is highmowingseeds(heirloom/organic) (weird name) up in Vermont.
I used to know a place that would sell seed potatoes year round but I haven’t been able to find it again. Luckily, they show up in grocery stores early here.
Looks like Irish Eyes will ship garlic right now, https://irisheyesgardenseeds.com I added to cart and it gave a ship date of Mar 18th.
Only hard neck they have is Red German.
Oddly enough, Irish Eyes, potato specialists, only seem to have one variety of seed potato. Never bought from them but they have good review at davesgarden

There have been 44 known cases of coronavirus in Texas.
11 of those have been from the quarantine at JBSA-Lackland in San Antonio. 33 are elsewhere in the state.
Austin, TX ISD closed schools due to the 2 cases. Emailed parents in the wee early hours this morning.
Fiesta San Antonio plans a Friday morning news conference to talk about the schedule for this year’s event.
I solved my concern about TP shortages - bought a bidet. Cheap, easy, sustainable. :)

Compare and contrast the media’s treatment of Trudeau vs Trump.

This is the timeline I have been wanting to see. Thank you for posting info with clarity. While others speculate and prognosticate and rant about Trump, it shows how the Democrats had a big hand in the U.S. COVID-19 spread.
Mr. b has a doctor’s appoint Monday to get his meds and for real that the day the drawbridge is up for good.
This morning, I did a pre dawn LAST run to Lowe’s and the grocery store. Found what I needed at Lowe’s and customers were about normal for mid day.
At the grocery store, it was just as crowded as at 5 pm. They were restocking everything as fast as they could but lots and lots of empty shelves. Cleansers were nearly out. No hand sanitizer or alcohol but a few hydrogen peroxide. The very few paper towels and kleenex were probably gone by the time I got through the checkout. TP totally out and has been for two+ days and the truck won’t be back for another two days - if at all.
The attitude was different. Surprised no one was begging to get something out of anyone’s cart like they usually do here in our little Venezuela del Norte grocery with hit and miss products. Everyone had their heads down not chitchatting (except shocked looks at the tp) getting what they could as fast as they could before daylight.
The drunk partying Spring Break crowd will hit here big time by 3 pm today. There were a few during the week but we usually stay in during the next couple weeks anyway but this will be more worrisome. They’ll be bringing in their germs from who knows where.
Tulsi said she wants to give everyone $1000. Well, hope she has a large enough bank account. Oh, wait, that’s our $1000 to begin with.
Yeah, first thought was W handing out $$ during Katrina and them blowing it.
So much for lip reading.
This may be why obamy bought so much ammo a few years ago.
First I thought of when it was announced was he’d run out and lick all the ice cream and spit in whatever he could so the next customers would get sick.
