I've encouraged a local online gardening website to run a special series for newbies on how-to start a very small garden with very few supplies (don't run out and do a lot of shopping - you can do much of the prep with just a shovel or spade fork). Stuck at home? Then it would be nice, at the end of all of this, to have people discover the joy of home-grown vegetables (and use easily available things like dish soap and bicarbonate of soda for pest and disease control). Most garden centers are largely tarp-covered open areas, so social distance is easy to maintain, for the trip to get bedding plants and some organic fertilizer.
