Vegetable dramas

About two weeks ago. We went and bought some vegetable seedlings 

I wanted to do a staggered planting so didn’t buy a whole lot 

We planted and mulched half the garden bed and we were going to wait about a month before planting again 

Well yesterday I decided I better go and get more incase we are shut down 

Oh my. What a surprise to find the shelves empty 

Not a vegetable seedlings in sight 

The same with the seeds. 

Looks like everyone has jumped on the grow your own bandwagon 

Luckily I know a couple in the industry and I contacted them 

They too said that where they work they are all out but they did get some for themselves and were happy to share 

So I’ve been able to plant the rest of this bed at least 

I’ll get some mulch and liquid fertiliser and some seed raising mix 

I have seeds, a tad old, but I’ll plant out twice as much and then transplant 

Whatever sprouts 

I’ve never ever seen it like this before 

It’s autumn here so most people don’t bother with a winter crop 

Looks like the crazy modern homesteaders knew something after all 

Yup. They’re not laughing at us anymore 

Stay safe, stay healthy 

See ya xxx
