In my opinion there won’t be austerity. There will be massive quantitative easing and perhaps even direct monetary injection.peejay wrote: ↑Fri Mar 27, 2020 7:05 pmAnd I wonder who your boss thinks will be re-filling the tax mans coffers next year?

Clearly there's little choice for anything but all these measures, but the next round of "austerity" is going to make the last decade look like a walk in the park...
As it happens my current contract has suddenly taken a drastic turn - from a promise of a 6 month renewal to potentially finishing on 31st so currently justifying why they should keep me on for a least a month or two..
All the sites I usually go to like Realseeds are closed until they catch up. Everything is out of stock. Starting to panic now because meat is already scarce, now no veg either Sorry to hear that Lildiamond lil wrote: ↑Sat Mar 28, 2020 10:21 am I'm very late trying to organise the veg garden and I cannot get seeds at all, unless at silly prices.

can you look at seeds for sprouting? The other thing is, even normal 500g packs of lentils or whatever - they can sprout too. If they're inside the house, there's no season when they can't be grown, they're secure from thievery, you can grow portion sized amounts, and there's no physical labour involved. Better to have food in your garden as well, of course - I know you don't like (loathe 
) the "K" word, but chard might do. My lemon balm is perennial. Good luck.Sorry I posted on another thread then read this one, hopefully they will be open again soondiamond lil wrote: ↑Sat Mar 28, 2020 10:21 am I'm very late trying to organise the veg garden and I cannot get seeds at all, unless at silly prices.
