The last several years have not been bountiful due to the droughts for any of the farmers and crops here in California. My own garden has had the same problems, even after so much nurturing and watering. This year, the veggies are finally producing a lot later than normal. Due to the water shortages and the lack of good harvests, as well as inflation settling in; it’s already mentioned that even tomatoes will rise in costs, also affecting the food industry nationwide.
