> Due to countries imposing quarantines, it is affecting the ability of farmers to get supplies to plant

I don’t know about large scale farms but go to a place you usually see vegetable seeds at. They’re likely sold out. It’s insane. People hoarded and are hoarding seeds. 90% of them have no idea what the heck to do with them and if they do even know that they will likely fail.

Last week I tried to find bush green bean seeds for a staggered planting. I wound up with a pack of purple green bean seeds I’ve never grown before. Apparently they turn green when you cook them. It was all I could find. They just sprouted yesterday.

I'm seeing the same thing here with seed. I save seed and have a large store but had to supply some this year to a son-in-law. Even tho I save seed, I buy seed like stereotypical women buy shoes. There just isn't much to choose from this year. Anywhere.
