Many modern homes don't even have room for a washing line.

I have to wonder if your country since just going into spring will experience what our country (U.S.) experienced in May and June. Just a heads up. Seed shortages, there is still a 3 to 4 month wait on day old chicks from the hatchery. All the incubators are gone from the stores. Could not find fertilizer for awhile. Anything that had to do with small animals or food production or preservation disappeared from the shelves. Canning jars, pressure canners, even the vacuum seal bags. By the time the crops started to produce these items were long gone. Freezers are non existent in the stores and doubled in price in some instances.

Love many, trust few. Always paddle your own canoe.

Thanks for the heads up. We don't have a lot of people doing canning, though of course that also means our supplies aren't great either. Early on there was lowered stocks in seeds and especially seedlings, couldn't find them for a little bit there.
