2017 Ugly Tomatoes

[WaltRoos]

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.

That is butugly. Looks like a purple calabash I once grew.

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.

. Really looks like three. That might get ugly.. Wonder if it will ripen evenly?.

[Gardeneer]

Brandy Boy Won't get ugly. It has a Habit of growing some double fused boat shape fruits.

I've got a Barlow's Best Black that is a montrosity of a fruit. I will post a picture when it gets large enough to scare the youngsters

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

WaltRoos and TexasTomat0 have mine beat by a mile. Mine's just funky looking.

And ... WaltRoos wins. Competition over for the year.




Dang near put me off my dinner!

My entry isn't ripe yet and is already quite hideous.

[AlittleSalt]

Cole, I would run for the hills. That tomato looks like it came out of one of the 1950s SiFi monster movies.

[dmforcier]

Well! Maybe the competition is still open. That thing looks like it's devouring a rival.





Maybe Saltie has the right idea.
