Bought a few packages of garden seeds today. The cashier and an assistant store manager separately told me people are buying them greedily and there is almost no stock left of most vegetable seeds. How in the world can news sources print that the economy is looking up? From what angle are they looking? It's obvious to me people are preparing for the worst, not what they are being told via government propaganda news.
I completely understand. I’ve noticed that the number of seeds in packages seem to also get smaller and smaller (or fewer and fewer I guess). There is no recovery, there has not been and there will not be till we hit rock bottom, and then dig a little. People are prepping at an alarming rate, Mountain House predicts shortages into this year (one could argue that it’s hype, but I have noticed it goes quickly even though Freeze Dried food has rocketied in my area).
It’s crazy there are people who still have their head in the sand. I’m looking to acquire some more heirloom seeds. I had my first Garden since adulthood last year, I hope this year to make it many fold larger. Let’s hope the weather gets bette, last year it was awful in this area, snow until nearly June.
