Inflation, Destroyed Bradleys and Garden Diseases

I'm canning taco meat and some potato soup base as I watch your videos. Been planting, harvesting, drying, and storing loads of herbs. Tomatoes took a hit from a neighbor spraying his ranch gates with weed killer via drone. My tomato and some okra plants are toast. But, I'm replanting since I get a second planting season here in Texas. Fixing to switch over to planting fall plants, start fall plants, and harvest my potatoes. I'm really excited about fall gardening this year. I built 4 raised beds out of pallets this year. Plan to make mini greenhouses on top for longer growing season in the winter. Excited to see your harvests!

A tobacco plant placed near your tomatoes will keep most of the horn worms off of the tomatoes, they like tobacco more. Works great.

Here is an inflation anecdote... we just finished something called the "Dollar General Survival Challenge". $25 limit, weekend survival, review of receipts. We could literally see the prices changing, based on when the items were purchased. I bought early. My water was $0.15 less than my son's. My twine was $0.25 less. We were only three weeks apart.

[@primrozie]

I agree with you. Not much "quality" anything anymore in the carnal world. However, we who are the remnant have trained our children in the way they should go. I see a huge difference in basic caliber of human being between world reared kids and ours. As family matriarch, I want to see my family living in the secret place of Most High. We've been gathering twice a month (whole family) for dinner. It has made opportunity for great discussions drawing us closer together. We've certainly developed core of a community.

I can attest to what you are saying. I am a remodel contractor/handyman service. If you need a single pole outlet you better buy two, at least a 30% chance that one is bad from the factory. I find this in most products we deal with daily. An odd Soviet era thing I have noticed for some time now is that often the less expensive options have turned out to be better quality than the same thing in a much more expensive line.

If inflation is down, why did my electric bill go up $10 over last month, when my wattage is lower? I've reprogrammed my a/c higher, only have 1 light on in the evening, cook with gas. I'm a disabled senior, but my garden in my little backyard has been increased. I don't have to mow anymore, there's no room! Been canning green beans in the last week. Tomatoes are looking good. Zucchini and squash not so good this year. Waiting for okra. Winter squash is exploding everywhere. How do you keep your jars upright in the pot to dry can? I tried once, and they all toppeled over. I really want to do this. Help, please. Getting ready for fall garden, already started cabbage and collards.

[@amendareid9256]

Zach, what did you do to your onions that made them so big? And I waterbath my potatoes. Salt and vinegar and that’s all. Like the old ways. Refuse to use a pressure canner. They never even had pressure canners back in the day. Rebel Canning all the way!!

"nothing is made to last anymore" is indeed the problem. That Bradley, sitting in the depot, will not need to be replaced. And that is a problem! The families that profit from replacing that Bradley need it to be destroyed so they can produce and sell another. It is no accident that the Bradleys are being destroyed. That's the point of the exercise. Now on dry packing potatoes, I am not upset that you are dry packing. Your potatoes, your family. I will wait and see if you grow a third arm or something. and then next year I too will dry pack. Thank you for all you do.

You're absolutely correct about inflation. Remember these two things: At 3%, inflation is NOT going down, it's just increasing more slowly. And ofc this is all based on their bogus calculations. Second the inflation is all compared on a YOY basis. We are now comparing our rate of inflation to the extremely high numbers of 2022. Since you compare to higher numbers, the percentage is lower. But the real dollar increases are still high. Great video, thank you.
