Sooo how about that Stock Market ?

[Blackbear]

Tomatoes are doing just fine …

maybe you can also "buy" some oil ..
and the money they send you for taking some oil ..you can use to buy more Tomatoes .

Stick with the Tomatoes.

I have turned over a new leaf and am now investing in the stalk market.
Not only celery but those good tomato stalks that will be sturdy and bear fruit, per your Bear advice.
It's a pundemic.

[Blackbear]

well ok... as this year is turning out to be a bad year around here for
transitlink and bc ferries loosing over several million dollars a day ..I will refrain from bailout or reinvestment .

Western Canadian Select Oil at time of writing is negative 3.83 a barrel (-3.83).

But I will "stalk " up on Blackberries Salmonberries and Salmon for a long tough winter ahead .

But above all ..Stick with the Tomatoes !

This is the first year I've played the stalk market. Stalks are growing in value, especially celery & lovage. Peas are an emerging market. Tomatoes are maintaining a steady growth.

[Blackbear]

Geese I am appreciating more the "stalk" market as perennial greens and volunteers are increasing in value
due to the sudden seed shortage . And yes Tomatoes are maintaining a steady upward growth.

[Blackbear]

Further more.... don't bother to look at the Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI)

Instead Look at the TMI the Tomato Managers Index (TMI) it will keep you more upbeat .

Ah, yes, I forgot the salad greens! I received a windfall payout of salad green seeds at a seed swap in December. Not yet reaping the benefits, but salad futures are looking bright!

[Blackbear]

yeeesh ! Western Canadian Select oil is in the negative again this morning … back to the garden ..


Remember folks ….. with Tomatoes ….even if you are in "The Red" you are in the Green !

[Blackbear]

In these uncertain Unproductive and unprofitable times I most certainly will still be participating in my favorite "ETF"
(Eat Tomatoes Frequently). :+D

Herbert Hoover said In 1930 ……."The worst is over" .

but for this season for Tomato folk "The best is yet to come "

[worth1]

Not me the rain split all my sun gold stocks.

[Blackbear]

In this Tsunami of greed ….
I have doubled down with tomato clones .
If the summer of hope does turn into the summer of discontent .
I will have to eat my profits.

Celery performed best when I liquidated it (in pots in the shallow end of the pond).
Tomato plants plummeted to 10% of their face value (9 of 90 survived). I started fresh and doubled down on many. I don't want to be left with an empty space, so hedged my bets by planting two to a hole. I and am seeing steady growth in a healthy market.
Rhubarb increased by 50% (new neighbor didn't want the rhubarb that was in their yard).
Snap peas look headed for windfall profits in a week or so!
Salad greens are also delivering huge benefits.
Peppers are starting slow but steadily gaining.
Invested in milkweed for the monarchs- steady growth there.
Increased my elderberry investments by 100%. Can't wait for the dividends.
