Some of them were pretty grim, so no. That particular year was not so good for tomatoes here generally; blight, among other things.

Do you pull off your bottom branches?

 

[Molpet]

You couldn’t just take off the bad parts?

I did
Sometimes it's taking the good parts off because so much is bad

I am a lazy gardener! Pull off lower branches, never thought about it! Anything that can survive 'benign neglect' is a winner here in the garden...

Yeah I pull off all the bottom branches because those get blight first

Tomatoes like to be big and airy. I learned that from my friend

Yes, the world has figured it out and likely will figure it out again, but it won't be recognizable to what we know now and likely without us.
There are wide open spaces here and where you live so overpopulation isn't in your face or even comprehendible. However if one lived in or visited places like Mumbai, Bangkok, Mexico City, Dhaka, Lagos, Delhi, Tokyo or any of the other rapidly growing cities, some with a 10% annual growth rate - it would be clear. Who will feed all those people?
There are 33 Megacities in the world. Those are urban areas with over 10 million people. Among the challenges facing those areas are disease control, food production, education, housing, employment, pollution and waste disposal.
India alone has 5 Megacities. Southeast Asia has 3, the US has 2 and Latin America has 6.
Can you say, 'unsustainable'?

We are in the midst of the 6th great extinction. Losing species at a rate between 10,000 and 100,000 per year and unlike other great extinctions - this time they are largely due to human activity.

The surprising thing is all these people need to eat but for some reason beef and gran prices are going down. Must be something to do with the economy? Getting too complicated for my old brain .


To put it simple People can only populate to their food source so if you can't provide food for your self don't have kids, especially if you can't feed or raise them properly. I don't know about you but I would drive myself crazy trying to figure out the world's problems.

It will be up to each individual to make the right decisions. Though because human nature some will make mistakes . You shouldn't worry about anyone else's mistakes but yours, if everyone did this the world would be a better place.

Problem is, different people think different things are right.
PETA for example. They think they are right, I disagree

That’s why we are human... We aren’t robots programmed to think one way

I don't think that's a problem. Because no one has a perfect definition of "right" including me. I just try my best. But I would agree with you on PETA.
