KTee, sure wish I could come help you garden - it's so easy! Would love to get your garden going for you. Meanwhile, please look into Kratky hydroponics. Anybody can do this. Just get your supplies quickly while they are still available. You may well be ahead of the power curve by doing so, as having your "garden" growing indoors adds a terrific layer of security from the hordes who did not prepare and are roaming everywhere seeking food in other people's gardens. They will eat their fill and trash the rest. What we have indoors we are better able to protect.

I don't recall which state you are in, Ktee, but no doubt we are too far apart for me to be able to visit and help you get into growing produce. Sorry that is so. Please get seeds for sprouting - lots and lots of them - so that you can have fresh foods daily even though gardening isn't working for you and to be eaten along with the Kratky-grown produce.

Thinking of you and wishing you the very best in preps!

By the way, purchase all you can of heirloom seeds, even though you may not grow them at this time. They will have incredible barter value, and you may work out something whereby somebody else grows the veggies from your seeds and you profit by what you get to eat.
