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.

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

Jon

Should I glue it back on ?

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.

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

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.

Here's my ugliest so far. JD Special C Tex.

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

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

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

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

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





[SIZE=1]Maybe Saltie has the right idea.[/SIZE]

Great Entry
 

I think my ugly has a Don King hair cut thingy, yours has some extra DNA from a squash and a snowball in der mouth. That is one ugly mater.

That thing is gnarly

Cracked,with underdeveloped seeds visible.I will leave it on the plant until it ripens,though I fear for the humanity's future...

:shock: When it demands meat, don't listen.

That's like a car wreck, I just had to look. Gave me shivers.

Too much nitrogen+cold temps=this monstorsity.Looks like 3 full wheelbarrows of half-decomposed pig manure was a mistake.Many plants are showing signs of medium nitrogen overdose,but some don't seem to mind at all.Weird.

"half-decomposed pig manure"
 

With "half-decomposed pig manure" No wonder it looks like it just wants to leave town, or like it's looking for a major role in a Batman Movie.

" half-decomposed pig manure " No thanks, Never

Has anyone tested the market for ugly tomatoes? Some of these guys might go for $50...

"Scare your children. Scare the neighbors' children. Terrify Aunt May!"

"Shocking proof that aliens are among us!"

Never again.And the smell was...dreadful.

No ugly ones but here is an unusual one.
I named it Charley Brown.

Here is one of our favorites - Mortgage Lifter (Bi-Color).

I can't contribute this year as I now remove those beast while they are still babies.

I'm with you on this one, so I'll just be spectator. Fused/mega blooms also get removed as they seem to stall a plant's ability to set set additional fruit until the resulting monster tomato is removed.

Wow, Hudson. That thing got beat with the ugly stick.

Hi Cole,
Ya - I let it suffer too long! Temperatures got a little too cold in the GH when the poor thing was trying to set fruit - I think!
