A few months back I had heard that there was most likely going to be a run on seeds and garden equipment, A lot of folks are turning to planting their own gardens of fruits and vegetables to help reduce the amount of money being spent at the grocery store. Gas prices are going back once again. Food prices never did go down, like gas did for a few months, and now we are hearing that food prices are going up once again with no end in sight.
I am now finding that these rumors were so very true. It has been a challenge finding many of the seeds and plants that I had planned on planting in my back yard garden this year. I finally found the cantaloupe seeds last week, but I can’t seem to locate any sweet potato slips anywhere. I have looked in all the store locally that would normally carry these items, even went online to find numbers to some of the local nurseries that I was sure would carry them, to no avail. I keep being told to come or call back in a few weeks, which of course I keep following up on, but still no sweet potatoes in hand as of yet.
