That’s so true. However, they’ll probably do ok with some of the easier stuff. Like bush beans and mint.LOL

Assuming they can spare a few years to expand their seed supply. Some of those seed packets will only have 18 bean seeds in them. Hard to feed a family on that, even if you do know what you're doing!

Well, this is true. Altough we get a lot of mileage out of our seeds-most packets have more than we have space for. But we are only growing for the two of us at this point.

And I am using the sq foot garden method as much as possible, so getting quite a lot out of a small area. But yeh, you gotta wonder whether they are even getting enough seed to plant for their needs.
