I think it was Hillary Clinton who famously said (panderingly, in front of a Black or Hispanic audience) that she always carries hot sauce packets in her purse.

She'll make sure we're good.

My maters barely produced this year. Also didn’t see many pollinators either.

As gardening goes we saw only a weeee percentage of maters this year. So few I had to enter a 2 step mater withdrawal program.

Yes so far this year we have gotten about 6 usable mators. Last year I ever try the Patio Tomatoes. I wish I could find a place in Edmond to buy a Roma plant or two each year but so far no luck. I may have to try one from seed next year.

Rick, I planted so many Mater seeds I ended up taking 2 flats, 36 plants with Romas to the local dg and putting a free sign on them. But I'm a long haul from that commie town of yours. Id venture to say I could fix you up on seeds if needed.

With me, ketchup is a food group. I will have to triple up on my stash.

Pollinators are what scares me. I have only seen about 5 bees this year.

Our hedge plants draw plenty of bees, mostly early morning. Sadly they are about done for the year. I may have to put a dish of sugar water out close to my plants.

Have you tried TLC Nursery @ Memorial & Santa Fe? They always have a really good selection.
