How to get an early start on your vegetable garden

(FARM AND DAIRY) - The coronavirus pandemic has negatively impacted demand on some products like oil and natural gas and positively impacted demand on others like recreational vehicles, boats, camping equipment, kayaks, gardening supplies and even garden seeds. Stuck at home, everyone is looking for new hobbies and can’t seem to get enough of the great outdoors — at least for now.

Last spring, the increased demand had seed suppliers scrambling to meet consumers’ needs. Incidentally, demand hasn’t slowed down as seed starting season begins. Some sellers are already posting “out of stock” stickers on the most popular seed varieties on their websites.
