It makes me chuckle when you see people saying they are planting seeds for the first time to grow their own veg. I'm sure they think it's like Jack and the Beanstalk - plant, water and 10 minutes later you have this huge plant. If this virus hasn't passed by the time most seed has changed to something edible, we really will be in trouble.

Don't joke about it. My grandmother had a large garden which she tended herself until well into her 80's. Crops were going missing so she and my mother 'staked the place out' one night from the shed. It had just gone dark when they saw movement in the veg patch. They waited until the thieves were well distracted by their work, crept out then switched on a torch. The toerags were people who lived behind my gran, young and healthy - just bone idle. Gran laid into them with a bamboo cane - then never came back. This was back in the 60's when there seemed to be fewer toerags around.
Unbelievable 😡 I like the sound of your gran though. Good for her! It gets me how when there is any crisis, so many wonderful people show their colours, from all walks of life, yet there are always the few b******s who try to profiteer from people’s misery and fear.
What is really getting to me at the moment is that people are buying chickens, Â half of them have no idea what that entails, they just thinking of eggs, several suppliers of POL are sold out.Â
Sadly, many won’t even have a clue how to look after them.Â
Breeders selling POL pullets etc shouldn’t be selling to inexperienced buyers, just as reputable dog breeders won’t sell puppies to buyers who gong know what they’re doing 😠Â

I can imagine a lot of chickens being dumped at the side of the road in a few weeks time when people realise they haven't got the first clue about looking after them.Â
