In addition to food, this virus is already disrupting supply lines. It would be good to plant things to replace the various non-food items that might be hard to find for a while. Luffa gourds for scrubbing sponges, soapwort or other saponin-rich plants for laundry
soap. Pyrethrum daisies for insecticide. Etc.
It might even be a good idea to grow a small patch of fiber plants like cotton or
flax, just so you have fresh seeds in case you need a bigger patch later.
I noticed that my favorite wire mesh fencing is made in China, so I plan to buy a few extra rolls here and there when I can. Quail and
rabbits were a few more years away in my plans, but I'd like to have all the materials I need for building their cages, just in case.
