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. walt |

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.

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.
