They cannot have inflation b/c it would push colas for Soc. Sec. & disability payments up. The cost of energy alone has gone up SIX TIMES since 1999! And oil consumption in the U.S. has gone down at least 25%. Of course that increases the price of everything one has to buy to survive. What they are doing as we've said over & over is destroying the middle class while transferring wealth to the elites. When the markets do crash, heaven help all of us. Herc, where are you from? I've forgotten...are you Czech? I was there last year, what a beautiful place! I believe he's from Herzegovina...and survived the conflict there from the 90s. He witnessed the rapid deterioration of a country so he knows of which he speaks.

I am Croatian from a region called Herzegovina right on the border. I saw the region deteriorate and what the economy turned into. It is not much better now with greedy politicians taking a hold of things..........similar to the previous president of Ukraine. I mean how the hell does a politician who claims to make 25K a year live in a 75 Million dollar home............You don't need to be a rocket scientist...........and it is not much different here in the U.S...........politicians go in usually OK and leave multi-millionaires...............again don't have to be a rocket scientist.............basically they are all corrupt and the biggest thieves around.............. JMO and BOL.......

So sad they keep destroying such beautiful countries as I am sure Herzegovina is. Apparently here's how: news.ino.com/headlines/?newsid=291521781 Phantom firms squeezing $11 billion in tax dollars. Who do you suppose launders that money? Pols + banksters = biggest thieves in the history of the world.

bad pic but my tomats leaves have these all over them. what should i do Jack? Clint! It's probably the dreaded virus of some sort you can't do anything about it ( or so has been my experience). Even when I buy starter plants which are rated being "VF" which means virus resistant mine still get it. Some think it's caused by watering the plants by spray getting all the foliage wet rather than at the base of the plants. Mine have a yellowing wilt going on starting at the bottom which proceeds up the entire plant so it's a race against the fruit ripening before the vine dies. You can prolly go on GOOG and find out exactly what that is you got (it might be Septorium wilt too I can't tell from the picture on this POS iPad but I'll look on the big system later. Sorry I'm not that knowledgeable about tomato diseases but I've become rather stoic about them - can't do shit about it so why bother(?). Maybe Dino has some bright ideas. Tell ya the truth I'm surprised you are getting that in virgin dirt - I always thought it was brought on by over farming the same area with the same crop. I'll go up see now they all left me home alone and it's either that or a lazy Saturday aft nap! See ya soon, J

See ya soon, J Could be "Bacterial Speck" aggie-horticulture.tamu.edu/vegetable/problem-solvers/tomato-problem-solver/leaves/It says this is how to control it: "Minimize wetting of the leaves by using drip or furrow irrigation. Copper sprays provide effective control." Ortho has a product with that shit in it - its copper soap so that's okay if you are gardening organic, right? www.scottsbrands.com/smg/goprod/ortho-elementals-garden-disease-control/prod10280004/

Here's one I picked a couple days ago - the first tomato-head selfie! It weighed in at 1.4# and was the "mortgage Lifter" variety.

No the welded wire rolls come 6' wide x 150' long. I cut off 8-9' lengths and used the 60" width as the circumference of the cages providing an approx. 19" diam cage.
