I just can& #39;t understand why garden centres/nurseries etc are closed during this. There is going to be a global food shortage when this pandemic is over and it will make the pandemic pale in comparison.
People starting out now growing their own will give up once the restrictions/

lifted. Growing your own is hard no matter how many books you read. It& #39;s all dependant on your soil, aspect, temperature, pests etc. What will grow one year, won& #39;t the next. You& #39;ve got to be patient and experiment. The vast majority of people give up and go to the supermarket/

But what happens when the supermarket no longer has supply? Everyone who is growing now, keep at it. Rome wasn& #39;t built in a day. You& #39;ll have abject failure but you& #39;ll have some success and there is nothing to compare to the taste of homegrown.
The same goes for making sourdough/

It took me years to get it and two courses. It& #39;s much more than just following a recipe. It requires instinct, understanding and patience.
A bit like gardening.

So don& #39;t give up. Keep trying and if you fail, try again.

And for the love of God please reopen garden shops?
