    For the gardeners here. It appears that seed availability is already tightening. An update on the subject from Ice Age Farmer…

    • A quick add to the above. I just placed a seed order from two suppliers – both state a minimum of 30 day shipping delay. I also just read an article (behind a paywall so unable to post link) from a very reliable source warning of food scarcity hitting Europe first.

      • Good tip – thanks (from a once and aspiring future gardener!).

        • Years ago I started my own seed bank. Do you realize you can store seeds indefinitely in your freezer? I easily germinate 10 year old seeds from my freezer every year. I joke about I rival that seed bank in Scandinavia. But that is the idea. Keep them cold! I buy seeds when I see them and double bag them in freezer bags. If I use some the rest go right back into my freezer. This works, folks. I recommend all food growers and future gardeners start this right away. There may be more than our immediate families depending on this in future years.
