Yes, so lucky, thanks! I've never thought of using them although I knew the sheets were used with pallets for many products. Grocery stores might be another good source.

I'm having a banner year for maters.
So many cherries that I've quit picking them.
Lots of Beef Steak but more than anything tons of big yellow Golden Boys that Hot Pepper Queen sent me the seeds for, probably 8 to 10 baseball sized ones every day.
I thought things were slowing down because of lack of rain, but then the last 2 nights we got an inch each night.

My Tamayda plants are large! But, the leaves are small (like the potatoes). There was a ripe Bloody Butcher in June! But, there have only been a couple off that backyard plant since. The other backyard plants have ripened tomatoes this month! But, only a few ...
In the garden, most of the plants haven't produced a single ripe Tamayda. I may be getting a lesson in how high temperatures interfere with fruit set.
Despite the good size of the plants, they probably need fertilizer. There was plenty for them to start but the gardens got a good deal of water over about 4 or 5 weeks. Running the sprinklers so often was an effort to keep things from burning up.
It's all a learning experience for this olde gardener ...

Edit: I was just out to look at the backyard plants and that Bloody Butcher is fairly well loaded with fruit! Many have a nice blush. I like this container Tomayda growing, just off the back steps

My tamaydas are not doing well either...at first I thought it was due to my new gardening method. Not so. As I look at everyone's tamaydas all around me, I notice lots of nice, green leaves, moderate height, very few tamaydas and those that they have are small. Much like my own.
Last year I had tamaydas like gangbusters...HUGE and plenty.
Too much rain, not enough sun in these parts. Now we enter August, when the rain is stopping and hot days are here~sun finally makes an appearance~ but the plants all have shallow roots due to excessive rains all spring and summer until now. Many plants have blight, fungus, etc., but now they will deal with no rain...they will die.
What I'm seeing in my own garden are some plants dying and tomatoes that fail to ripen, blossom end rot here and there but overall, not a good year here for tamaydas.
For the record, that's how I say tomatoes also....tamaydas.
Must be a southern thing....

Dw reported that she picked 1.5 5 gallon buckets of tomatoes last night. And there's the same amount to be picked this weekend. She's going to be a busy beaver the next couple days between canning tomatoes, yellow beans and corn.... Bless her heart
Here in the south they call tomatoes. Either mators or madors. Depending on their southern accent...
