All prices will go up due to increased fuel cost which affects shipping costs.

Nah frost, not fuel. I looked it up. A bunch of articles like this one:
http://thepacker.com/Tomato-prices-skyrocket-after-Mexican-freeze-losses/Article.aspx?oid=1313337&fid=PACKER-SPECIAL-SECTIONS&aid=657

Freezes that hurt Mexican production and Florida’s crop have escalated Florida tomato prices to stratospheric levels. Tony DiMare, vice president of the DiMare Co., Homestead, which also has operations in central Florida, said prices had tripled from $10-12 on extra large tomatoes and $12-14 on large and mediums to $35 across the board in only a couple of days after the Mexican freeze. No wonder. Prices have tripled.

Tomatoes have gone up more then most food items though due to crop failure.

Mexico, Florida, and India all suffered freezing weather during the prime tomato growing season and lost most of their crops so now if you buy a tomato in the US it is almost assuredly from California. California farmers are having a field day.

You say tomatoes, I say get a ****ing job.

Lament tomatoes if you will, but part of the increase is the same increase as is being seen overall, which is due to fuel costs. It's not just food. Lot of things. Most things.
I know home improvement contractors that have raised their rates due to fuel costs.

blame global warming

You realize that climate change (even the climate getting warmer on average) still means there will be cold spells, right? Weather vs Climate (short term events vs long term averages)?

I tried growing my own last year but they got eaten by too many bugs. I may try again this year though (indoors).

If you really want to do it right add a couple pot plants to the mix.

Just sayin'.

[dumadegg]

cold before it get hot, or hot before it gets cold?

Let me add- The weather man here cannot give the forecast for the next week, How can they make a forecast years from now?
I do not believe in global warming.

Why oh why do you continuously want to negate the blindigly mind-numbingly obvious?

Try interplanting basil and hot peppers in with the tomatoes. It can confuse the hell out of the little pests, and more than a few big ones.

Thanks, I'll try that. I was going to try hot peppers this year anyway. I've still got bell peppers producing fruit in one of my front windows. They're now a pretty decent size and I just kept em going.

That can attract a whole 'nother kind of pest.

Plausible deniability.

I once planted pot seeds in a police department flower bed.

Magic mushrooms grow wild in Vancouver. There was a (in)famous photo in the newspaper of some guys picking them in front of city hall.

That explains a lot actually.
