    Yeah I have thought about self isolating in the bush somewhere, with a good book and a campfire..

    I might have to do it in my front yard instead! What's everyone doing with all this spare time we have  while locked down

    I'm interested in finding out what short term crops you guys can grow.....unless you are thinking longer term than me. It takes weeks from seeds to seedlings , then weeks more to produce anything of edible size.

    Fortunately for us, we have been pretty self sufficient with vegies for yonks. I'd suggest things like carrot, zucchini, turnip and pumpkin. I stagger the sowing so as to keep, hopefully, an on going supply.

    We also use a lot of Ceylon spinach as a green but, you have to keep an eye on it as it's a prolific grower. Carrots and turnips will show in week or two.
