If you have already submitted an order, don't worry! We are putting all our resources towards meeting our commitments of getting your order processed. Please check our website for updates and click the link below to sign up to be notified when we start taking orders again. Thank you for your understanding in these difficult times but know our dedicated staff is working diligently every day because they understand your personal food security is essential now more than ever. https://territorialseed.com/ Johnny Seeds: At this time, we are accepting new orders only from commercial farmers shipping to the U.S. and Canada. https://www.johnnyseeds.com/customer-support/covid-19-message.html Seed Savers Exchange: We are temporarily not accepting new orders. Due to a sharp increase in seed orders, we are not accepting new orders at this time. We are still shipping previously placed orders and will open ordering back up again once we catch up.

[/quote] Glad im a seed saver.Though some are hybrid cherry tomatoes,no telling what will pop up. I certainly cant come anywhere close to growing what I would need,but a few fresh things are nice.

Update 4/12
After considering the consequences of adding to fears I have decided not to proceed with keeping this thread updated on a daily basis. Those who wish to share information and discuss the subject are free to do so. The anxiety I created for myself alone is enoigh for me to step back. I recognize my limitations and will no longer participate in this thread. We need solutions to problems rather than adding to the problem themselves.
Supply chains starting to crack. I work for a major food processing plant in the midwest. Someone I work with has family that works at the factory who supplies all of our plastic products. This particular factory supplies our company with 30,000 cups and lids of all sizes every few days. Apparently that plant is shutting down for 28 days. This will disrupt our ability to distribute our food products at the plant I work at. As of now we will be down the next 3 days for fog disinfecting the entire plant for a 2nd week in a row. With this disruption we are expecting an additional week to two weeks of no production which will significantly impact walmarts and grocery stores across the region.
This is the real deal folks. Food manufacturing in the midwest are now seeing disruptions. You know what will follow. Will keep this thread updated.
