Thought I'd start this off with this one, picked a couple of days ago. What do you reckon yummy or not?

That will scare black flys! 

Good grief!  That's ugly.

Probably very tasty indeed -  but you might have to skin it to get rid of the corky bits 

A tomato only a mother could love....

It's that ugly it could play for arsenal. 

I usually go for the ugly tomatoes at the market as they tend to have more flavour!  You will probably have to attack it with a paring knife but I can imagine it, chopped with cucumber, basil, salt pepper and a dash of olive oil, delicious.  I am sure that some ugly ones will come along my way! I have a Marmande growing and they always make a few with weird shapes.

Hehe now that IS ugly.......the prize is yours Jayb 

Lol, thanks for that Star But the season is early yet and it can't just be me with an ugly tomato. I hope!

Sorry Jayb....in my GH there is only beauties growing on ...

You have managed to get looovely ugly one...I hope it will taste better than it looks..

I've got a particularly ugly Black Krim on the plot but I am not sure it compares to your monstrosity!  Ill pick, photo and post to compare!

Lol, it did taste much better than it looked and it wasn't too bad once trimmed!

Yum, yes that's just about what I did, but with a little Feta crumbled over the top - delish

Looking forward to the photo 

Will have to put up a thread for the prettiest tomato just for Goodlife   


Untrimmed.

Mine wasn't soooo bad

Ah...you may combine that with the 'biggest and heaviest' too...

Huh...show that to kids and you put them off eating veg altogether..! Quite a monster...

Blimey, what a corker Nick, looks like it didn't know when to stop growing. Perhaps something lives in the middle of it!!!!!

Fighting talk 

I picked my largest one so far this year today, just over a pound and its not very pretty either!

Well here's another beauty - not!

It kind of looks like little aliens escaping!!!!
