Default 2017 Ugly Tomatoes

This is my Entry to the 2017 Ugly Tomatoes. It is a "Porter House" Tomato from Burpee Seeds. I picked it this morning to keep the plant from putting any more energy into it.



Early bad weather stuck a cluster of tomato blossoms together, I noticed that, but just let them grow and this weird tomato was the result.

3 Photos , are the same tomato.

Why did not let it to get ripe ?
Cat faced tomatoes are amusing , to me. My CP grew few of them last year.
Perfectly round tomatoes are not fun.

This is my first and only Porter House plant. I didn't want the results to be tainted by this Dangerous man eating Tomato. I will sleep better knowing that it is not out there at night growing, planning, and doing strange things.

It looks like there are 3 tomatoes in the picture, but there are only two. It's supposed to be Brandy Boy OP.

I seem to always have triple fused ugly tomatoes early in the season. IMO they should be culled.
