The only fitting end for such an artistically unique tomato.

What an interesting looking tomato and it looks like there're many more to harvest! What does it taste like?

It tasted wonderful! This was one of the 'cristate' flowers that I blogged about earlier. Most others on the plant are a more uniform beefsteak shape.

Those are some strange looking tomatoes but obviously good!

Hi matron, I would have expected a suitable musical score to accompany those pics!
No such luck over here, not a red or even pink tom in sight as yet.
