Food and garden update

A few weeks ago, [personal profile] siderea posted a query Prep/Pandemic: How y'all doing with sourcing food and groceries?. To date, 111 people have responded. I don't see the need to add to that comment thread, but I thought I'd post my own update.

I'm grateful that I was already supplied (on [personal profile] siderea's advice) when everyone suddenly stocked up all at once. I could just stay home and wait it out. I'm grateful that Oregon's infection rate has been low (so far), so it's not that much of a risk to shop for food on an ongoing basis.

Mask + glasses + biking + rain is a bad combination, but I'll figure it out over time. I like to just put on the mask before I leave home and then not mess with it, even though most people don't wear masks while out walking or biking here.

Tl;dr Farmers markets and large bag of rice for the win.

How's it going for your food gathering and garden growing?
