Currency?

Bear skin = to keep warm

Bear Fat = to cook with

Bear Meat = good eating

Bear teeth and claws = jewelry

Bare Skin = oops, lets not go there.

This bear thinks it is good to check the Asian stock markets

on Sunday evenings as a it is already Monday market there before it is Monday

in North America ...........

so yes this bear has a lot of "Gall " as well.

I still believe sincerely Tomato "futures" and products are ...UP !

You might be showing more of a return in your Tomato portfolio for
2015 ...than the Dow composite .....eeeks .

I think all should enjoy their tomato gardening .

Enjoy your harvest time !

Enjoy the "value " of your Tomato gardening and your Tomatoes !

Did I say ...grow more Tomatoes as Tomato values are Up !?

Victory Gardens are here again !

Well, in this very good year for tomatoes in Romania, the prices are around 20 cents per kilogram for good big tomaotes (for farm tomatoes, can be big farm or small, prices are about the same). This is the price in some regions for the producer, the end price is a bit higher (about twice). This is really low even considering different prices generally.
So, tomatoes are not necessarily Up everywhere.

I give my tomatoes away so my income may not be up but my friend count is. I feel rich!

PaulF · August 24, 2015

ReginaAnn, I am with you. I just took a large boxful of tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers and squash down to the Post Office to share with our little village. Since we have no door-to-door delivery everybody in town has to visit. Feels good to see an empty box a couple of hours later.

Bear fat - also for waterproofing shoe leather

I don't track the Dow, but Tomatoville just passed 18,000.

In Canada......... Oil is down , Stocks are down , Canadian dollar...waaaay down .....

Store bought groceries are up........imported vegetables from California are up.

as the Canadian currency buys much less ....food ,computers ...even oil (that is cheaper?).

Tomato products as a " Prosumer " hobby activity is out performing actual buying the stuff this year ...

after considering self processing and food storage ...like grandma used to do ....trading for other in traditional ways of say...trade for beets etc.

Tomatoes ARE the currency ....ha ha ha

Local produced Quality is preferred.

Tomatoes are holding the "Value" around here........

The problem is processing and storage of the bumper crops .
(ahhhh.. opportunity ? ?)

And yes you are Tomato wealthy as well for sharing with friends and family !

It could be a Sad September on the global economy sense

....but my Tomato gardens have turned a positive return and keep giving dividends !

At this moment in time Tomatoes seem a bit more stable than oil prices, Stock markets , or the Canadian dollar !

Victory Gardens return again !

Profits and dividends continued in an up trend in my local hobbyist Tomato economy as ....

This hobbyist put away many bags of produce in the freezer and processing as the reserve account was bolstered.

Profit taking was done in the form of fresh seasonal tomato sandwiches

and a fantastic fresh spaghetti sauce .

Friend and Family account was also attended to this quarter with some of the Surplus .

Seed collecting indicator was also at an all time high ...smashing records set in 2014.

Other positive indicators continued this trading week for Tomato economy as

secondary fall crops were all on line this year and the board discussed expanding into tertiary
winter crops .

A merger with other interests and resulting Local consortium was to be studied in Q4 2015.

ha ha ha LOL

I say Again Happy harvest to all !

Victory gardens are back !

BlackBear · November 15, 2015

My Tomato dividends and returns were record this year !

But Again .......

Not so much ...for OIL Prices.... Canadian Dollar ....TSX or DOW Stocks !

I guess I will "double down " on the Victory Garden next year !

I have a funny about Viagra stock...nah.

BlackBear · November 15, 2015

Are you talking about the "Viagra" Organic - Rare European Variety tomato variety available from Ohio Seeds ??? ... I think that would be a good bet also much better than even an Oil refinery !

I have tried SunGold in the previous years. But not in 2015. However I grew One Hahms Gelbe in a 4 gallon pot. It was the first to have ripe fruits and produced to the end of season. Next year I will grow 2 or 3 of the. I have lots of 4 gallon pots.
I will also grow an orange saladette, Azoychka and Sakharnyi Zheltyi (both yellow and Russian)
So I am getting into playing GOLD. It is safer in BEAR market.
