Increase In Prices

Type into your phone or laptop "when do I plant (this type of veggie) in my area (type in your zip code)" and you should get the answer you need. Do I think prices will come down? Not until trump and musk stop playing with the government.

No, I don’t think prices will come down anytime soon. I can’t believe how much everything has gone up. I have to buy a certain kind of eye drops, and I want to say to the company, don’t you realize I have to buy food too? I can’t afford these jacked up prices for eye drops.

They might or they might not. deflation isn't a thing as far as I know, but they will even out over time.

I don't think prices are going down. I think we are in for a very frightening four years. Raising your own hens for eggs sounds good but you have to think: how much for hen food? How much for the coop, even if you make it yourself, fencing, sometimes lighting and yes your time is valuable and the labor to clean that coop. Sooner than later the hens will stop laying due to age and then do what with them? Are you able to butcher?? Planting vegies depends on your climate- when are there no frost free nights? And on we go.....

Because of all the uncertainty with tariffs, you may have to wait a while before prices come down.

From my experience in India I can assert sadly prices once up don't come down

I believe ChatGPT can assist you with your issues. They may adapt to where you live and what plants thrive in your area. So far, I have been pleased with how they are doing. You can ask them anything, and they will respond almost instantaneously.

I don't think the prices once increase come down. Things have become very expensive these days.

I hope the price will not spike abruptly.

I hope the prices come down.

Prices are not coming down for a long time. You can check with your county extension office for information on planting. But most things you want to wait until your last frost date.

I do the best I can when ordering groceries once a month and have found that if I order a bit more potatoes the next month I can order less and still have enough and also for other things I order, Not everything gets used up in a month,

I don't think they'll come down, but after a while they don't seem so bad as inflation hits the other items

On the price issue, it's hard to say what will happen to prices. The thing is, how inflation works, it is something that has already happened. In other words, the new higher prices don't just go away UNLESS we experience deflation. By the way, deflation is worse than inflation, so it's not a path we want to go down. The long and short is, we are stuck with higher prices post inflation MOSTLY. All we can hope for is for the rate of inflation to slow down to the desired 2% rate, and then wait for wages to catch up. But we are a long way to accomplishing that. Inflation added at minimum 33% under Biden, so wages will have to rise 35%-40% to really see any difference in buying power. However, there WERE certain factors that CONTRIBUTED to that inflation, that if reversed, CAN bring prices down. Increasing oil production and drilling for example. Energy costs are a HUGE part of inflationary pressures since it is required for nearly everything. Raw materials and finished goods are all moved by ship, rail, or truck and all three of those things run on diesel. Bring down the energy cost and you bring down the cost to move everything around. All that said, relief will take a while and we're going to have to be patient and suffer through it.

Not specifically, but googling gardening apps would probably be helpful.

Prices of things are gong up here over the past month or two. I simply do not have room to have chickens or plant large quantities of vegetables. My "illegal planting" all over the Bay Area is just for fun and harmless rebellion.

i'm afraid not. they will use either wars or politics like they did it until now.
