Year before last our company (Garden Center) started tightening its belt. And I mean TIGHT. There has been a core staff of FOUR this winter running things, getting ready for Spring. It’s been tough and tiring, but we have jobs!
It’s bad enough that some have had the weather working against them; many southern nurseries went belly-up due to drought, but this man-made DISASTER of an economy is going to hurt many, many others.
Learn to grow your own food. Even SOME of it. That skill is going to come in handy in the near future. :)
Do you ship to other states?
With the upswing in gardening one does not think about this. But I know while I would like to plant a couple fruit trees, they are pricey and I am sticking with vegetables and a grape vine or two.

I have one row of shallots that are almost done. I will separate one or two bunches for planting later in the spring.
This is something that is getting repeated here quit a bit lately. Is there some kind of book like "Not starving, For Dummies" out there. Maybe someone should start a thread of resource material.
That is Essential
Even in a city - if you have a little balcony - you can grow a ‘living wall’ of veggies.
And if in country - double your garden and can - and get a good guide book on wild plants in your area. Lots of free food out there.
Happy Growing,
