Went to the market over the weekend and was looking for some plants that I might want to start growing. This location does not specialize in plants but they do usually have a good selection to choose from. But when I got there I saw that they had nothing. I asked about the plants and they said that people came in and bought them up as soon as they had arrived.
Still plenty of seeds though.
There is an unsurprising increase in the volume of people who are now looking to grow their own plants and seeds etc. So for this market they don't know when they will have more supply in, and other garden supply stores have seen incredible business over the recent weekend and the past several weeks.
Whether growing again as usual or learning for the first time, it's easy to see why people might want to have one or two plants growing at home at this time if they can.
Seed sellers have said that they are seeing incredible surge in demand for products right now.
If you still need some seeds and gardening supplies then you might want to start looking for some now, and hopefully you will still be able to locate some options.
Grow From Just About Anywhere
Whether you live in an apartment or you have your own home, there are ways to get creative with the space that you have and grow your own. It might not be enough to feed you or your entire family for the year etc,, but every bit that you do grow can help to supplement your income and overall food needs.
Growing also gives you peace of mind in knowing you have food options nearby. It also enables you to be fruitful enough to give to those around you who might also need, if you grow more cucumbers, carrots, or other vegetables etc than you could hope to use for yourself. It's a great way to give to others in the community too.
It might be because people are looking for a fun pastime activity to do while staying at home for weeks, or because they are looking to really learn about growing and feeding their family.
Whatever your reason, it might be the perfect time right now to start your own garden.
