Wow! You really have beautiful plants. What have you been feeding them?

Those bell shaped look like several pear tomatoes I grew this year (Goldman's Italian American, Cuneo Giant Pear, and Franchi Red Pear). Could the seed pack have been mislabeled? Possible. They are good tomatoes to eat though. Your gardens look great, you are fortunate to have had a terrific year from the looks of it. Wish I had an apple tree!

A few years go, I bought an "oxheart" plant at the nursery, and got that exact same thing. I don't know what it was. It tasted terrible fresh, but made great sauce.

pear tomatos, huh. there not bad tasting at all. gave a bunch to a friend to make salsa. i fertilized with 5 10 5 over my whole garden (8000 sq ft)and on the tomatoes i made up a chicken manure brine and put that around the bottom and later on some miricle grow for tomatoes over the hole plant. then mulch with composted leaves. and the treatment with dacinol.alot work, but it payed off.

Deerhunter, they also look a little bit like my Liguria (Coeur d'Albenga) tomatoes.
