How is everyone dealing with rising prices?

We’re hoping to move house this year so wasn’t going to grow anything but I think I might change my mind in that!

Anybody got any advance notice of what's going up next?

Yes…everything.

You just beat me to that!

Same here Zed, hopefully in new place by the end of March so should still manage to get a few things planted once we're in.

That would still leave ample opportunity to get stuff going Andy!

Hope so, leaving a well established veg plot with a greenhouse to a garden that's bomb site with no greenhouse. We're in NE Scotland so greenhouse helps immensely with getting a head start but there's a few neglected raised beds in new place so planning to resurrect them & add some sort of simple cloche.
Hope your move goes well.

I recall watching the first couple of episodes of "It isn't Easy Being Green" many years ago. They solved the problem of moving in early summer by containerising their veg and planting them out late after moving in to the new place. They planted bigger stuff like squash and courgettes straight into new beds through cardboard.
It looked as if moving all those plant pots 150 miles was a bit of a task though!.

Likewise cheers mate! We’re leaving city life behind! Can’t wait

We are consciously and actively cutting waste here. During Lockdown#1,when some items were in short supply,we embarked on a no - waste strategy. Successfully too. We realised how wasteful we were. However,over the intervening 2 years ,we have slipped back somewhat. So today…

Two thirds of a pizza has been divided,labelled and frozen. Two remaining Winter squash from last year’s harvest ( showing early signs of rot) have been diced,bagged and labelled. The beetroot I was going to process last week,have just been taken from the oven to cool,jars sterilised and vinegar ready for pickling. A dozen surplus eggs ,boiled and cooling ,ready for pickling too.

Not throwing crusts of bread away.Until the Summer sun is here,that goes in the dehydrator to use later as fishing bait.That alone saves a load of cash! Whilst the drier is out,there are too many tomatoes in the fridge,so they can go in ,along with two bananas that are unloved.

It may not seem a big deal,and processing the above costs in fuel.That grub has been purchased though ,so why waste it? At the same time we have shut one freezer down,and reorganised the other two ( 3 freezers for two people! ) ,and the tumble drier is being used judiciously.

Er, no
We've been in this place twenty years & have three teenagers so quite a lot of stuff to move without taking the garden as well
Although I am planning on taking a few bulb based plants from the garden.
The most galling thing is I planted a bare root edible hedge a couple of years ago so its just starting to get going now just as we move but hey ho, c'est la vie.
I think the new owners are likely to keep it so that's a good thing to have done.
