Seed sellers ramped up in anticipation of the Covid stay at home and garden crowd would again this year overwhelm the industry. Apparently most of the first timers have gone on to another "fad".

The new seeds we ordered and received from Carol are waiting for Feb/Mar and Spring.
Last year was interesting to say the least, it was very difficult to find plants & seeds. Although I agree that many people probably got into the garden thing since they had so much time on their hands, I would bet this year will still be busy at garden centers & seed ordering on line. I checked Heritage seeds website and it said they were behind in shipping due to increased sales. Time will tell.
