[quote:Doctor Congo:MV80NzU4MDg3Xzg2Njg5ODUwXzJCQTc1NDE5] I highly recommend everyone to plant a nice garden this year. Right now I have two 12 foot raised beds of peas growing very nicely, 2 beds of mostly broccoli and some cauliflower, and two beds of overwintered greens with some transplanted lettuce. Also a bed of perennial Japanese bunching onions and garlic. My summer plants are sitting outside getting some sun. Most of them are in 3.5 inch plastic pots. I have a zucchini and a summer squash growing in big pots so I can have them early this year. I will have 12 feet of green and wax pole beans later, along with 24 feet of pole dry beans. 12 feet of fresh pole beans is enough for two people for a year. [/quote]

From the article:
"Shoppers had better start budgeting more for their grocery bills, according to the latest consumer price index, which shows prices are increasing — and they’re
likely to keep going up
.
The monthly consumer price index, released Tuesday morning by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, showed a 0.6 percent increase in March, the
largest one-month increase in nearly a decade
. Over the past year, prices have increased 2.6 percent overall."
One example is bacon is up more than a dollar a pound in some major cities. Supply problems are causing most of the increases and those problems are not going away thanks to Biden and liberal state governors. And it is going to get worse.
This is a very good year for everyone to start growing a garden.
