An extended "stay at home" order by Governor Gretchen Whitmer bans selling fruit and vegetable plants. Workers at greenhouses and nurseries say that makes no sense.
The governor wants people to restrict their trips from home to getting the essentials such as fuel and food. Retail garden centers have been ordered to close temporarily.

This is sure highlighting the leftist’s tyrant tendencies. I would like to believe people are paying attention and are getting ready give these creeps their much-deserved firings, but I don’t have much hope that will happen.

This woman is a moronic, sadistic bully. She's not unlike Saddam Hussein, PolPot, Stalin or Hitler.

Whether it’s free stuff, closing churches, stores and prohibiting family visits, this Executive Order crap needs to stop. It’s abusive authority thrown around at everything. I’m amazed there hasn’t already been a march on state capitols. Oh, wait – I might get a deadly virus so I’ll stay confined.

If all states did this, there would be a food shortage.

She has also banned motorboats. Recreational fishing must pose the same danger as planting seeds and growing flowers and vegetables. Insanity!!

Can't buy flowers or gardening supplies. Can't go boating (unless it's a canoe, row boat or kayak), but you can still have an abortion. Which is the bigger threat to human life?

It's possible to grow food from food scraps, such as lettuce, onions, garlic, carrots, parsnips, lots of other types also. Just cut the bottom, leave an inch or two and place in a container of water leaving the top free. Change the water every couple of days and when there's a good growth of roots transplant into the ground. Even tomatoes can be grown from the seed of a tomato you've bought. Google this and find out how to do it.
Google what Stalin did to Ukraine in the 30's to starve 4 million Ukrainians and maybe see something similar happening in Michigan. Not all at one of course, but gradually, citizens will lose the right not only to buy food but to buy seeds and plants.

Scratch a leftist deep enough and you will expose the inner tyrant that lurks within them all. There is nothing on earth that a leftist desires more than the power to tell others what they can or cannot do.

At this point, just disregard these types of psycho orders from Crat governors. Do what you normally do. Governors banning food production, telling stores what they can and can't sell and ordering people to stay in their houses is nothing more than imposing their authoritarian ideology on the general public. Govt does not get to violate our rights - under any circumstances.

Michigan has 22,800 cases out of a population of 9.9 million. That 2/10 of 1% of the population. About 80% of the cases are clustered around Detroit, Ann Arbor or Flint. Most of the people diagnosed are not even sick or have only light symptoms. She is a tyrant.

Inside every so-called "progressive" Democrat (which is ALL of them) is a totalitarian screaming to get out. Remember this, Michigan. When they're running for office, you can't believe one word they say, because they're all liars and thieves. You should know this. You vote them in time after time; they screw things up, you elect a Republican governor who straightens things out, and then YOU VOTE FOR ANOTHER DEMOCRAT!
I can't feel sorry for you - it's your own damn fault, you idiots.

"Dementors are among the foulest creatures that walk this earth. They infest the darkest, filthiest places, they glory in decay and despair, they drain peace, hope, and happiness out of the air around them... Get too near a Dementor and every good feeling, every happy memory will be sucked out of you. If it can, the Dementor will feed on you long enough to reduce you to something like itself... soulless and evil. You will be left with nothing but the worst experiences of your life."

I haven’t seen this going on in California. Home Depots and garden shops are monitoring how many persons are let in at a time, sanitizing and all that. This is planting time for many things here. Tomatoes, for example… Perfect weather for them to get a start. I have had tomatoes by June and still harvesting in the Fall… Once had 30 good sized green tomatoes at Christmas on a plant in a pot ...

Whitmer criticized Trump for not having a national strategy for Coronavirus. She obviously wants Governors to be told what to do so. That's scary if she's going to be on a national ticket. BTW, what's Michigan's strategy? Treat Glen Arbor, Marquette, and Alpena the same as Detroit? That doesn't make sense.

This is what you get when you elect them latest “star” the Democrats discover. Then you find out that behind all their far-left ideas they have no idea how to run a state, much less lead it through a crisis.

#13, yes, good info. There is one issue with hybrid plants. Some will not breed true. But many will breed true. Any from roots remnants will be the same genetically.

Good luck with that, #22. I’ve been on this site since the late 90’s and have pointed that out countless times.

This governor is a real piece of work...you can't buy seeds and plants to grow your own foods (and not potentially expose yourself in the market), but you can still buy marijuana, alcohol, and lottery tickets, and vegetables in farmers markets.....this is one brain dead governor...
