@hansw I have planted a veggie garden here at home this year; have done it in the past, but not when I am on extensive travel, as it requires care.

Went looking for little plants and the garden centers are pretty much bare -- one lady at one told me they had a lot of people who never did this before, now coming to get plants for food growing.

Resulting in unexpected shortage. Still haven't found the swiss chard I wanted. Other plants are in the ground, weather has been good this week.
