I have seen a number of news items proclaiming that there will be a shortage of seeds this year. I am wondering if they are accurate? I also am sure that landscaping (I am a contractor), planting ornamentals and upgrading landscapes and such (a luxury good) will take a big hit as money and the economy get even tighter under the tax and spend democrats. We are in survival mode...no investments, no new workers, no new trucks or tools...

You and everyone else on the fringes of the landscaping biz.

No, there’s no seed shortage. That was started by some of the smaller seed companies hoping to cash in on this crisis and garner more sales. ‘Tain’t true. We have plenty of seed, as do the other big companies.

However, there will be one or two crop failures along the line, so you might have to substitute a certain lettuce or tomato or green bean along the way...but there’s no nation-wide shortage going on. Hells Bells! There’s MONEY to be made these days. ;)
