I know someone in my town who does the same. Ran into her at dollar tree the other day as she was buying supplies to dress it up for Easter. She also has a smaller skeleton and a 2 headed dragon. They all get decorated for every holiday.

I have at least a dozen pictures of blurry bee butts in an attempt to capture one good one. They move fast!

You can also graft tomatoes onto a potato plant for what's called a ketchup and fries plant. I don't particularly want to grow potatoes. They're cheap and fun full at the store and I would rather focus my energy on things that cost more money or are harder to find like interesting varieties of eggplants or fancy salad greens. That said the novelty of growing a plant that will produce both tomatoes and potatoes definitely has me intrigued and I think I'll give it a try this spring.

I know others who have grown this variety of tomato from saved seeds have gotten similar results. I just messaged the other person who told me they got weird skinny tomatoes to ask if there's had any seeds. I will definitely save several cuttings from this one plant to try to keep it going. at some point I'm going to have to figure out how people get seeds for seedless fruit though because I've got quite the reputation for managing to kill off all my plants. This is my first year actually having a garden and keeping things alive for more than a few months at a time.

Tomatoes root very easily in water and can be transplanted into soil. I should take several cuttings from these and root them, and a bunch of pictures of the resulting tomatoes and see if I can't sell them in the spring. I was going to try with my regular tomatoes since it really doesn't cost me anything to do that beyond some time, but for some reason never thought of doing it with these, which might get more money due to being a novelty.

They were pretty good! Nice strong tomatoey taste and slightly sweet. I've only tried 2 of them so far (they're only just starting to turn red) and the larger of the 2 had what looked like an underdeveloped seed - kind of like how seedless watermelons have those thin white seeds that you can just eat.

I'm still deciding how I want to preserve them - the plant is absolutely covered in fruit, and in a few days I am about to have way more weird tomatoes than I can handle. With so little of the usual seed/pulp they might be a good candidate for dehydrating since I usually scoop that stuff out before drying them.

I am planning on doing that. However I was curious to see what the following generation would look like. If it's unstable it's possible I'll get completely different results with each generation so it would have been fun to keep it going and see what happened. These were some of the smaller skinny tomatoes on the plant that ripened first. There are some more that are larger so hopefully I'll manage to coax a couple of seeds out of those.

I have one particular ice cube tray where my ice does this at least once a month. It's so bizarre.

They're so good. Also azing frozen - little grape finger popsicles!

I hated tomatoes as a kid. They were watery and just blah. As an adult I started trying to eat more in season instead of trying to buy tomatoes in January when they are completely out of season. The difference in quality was unreal. Different varieties also have very different flavors. If you wish that you liked tomatoes more I would suggest going to somewhere like a farmers market where you can probably find different varieties of tomatoes than the same few that show up in the grocery stores. that's one of the reasons why I started gardening is because I want to grow varieties of fruits and vegetables that are actually tasty, and not grown for the mass Market because they survive storage and transport to grocery stores really well. you're more likely to be able to find those varieties in farmers market and local fruit stands where people are selling the stuff they grew locally. With tomatoes especially, the grocery store ones have been sitting in a refrigerator while being transported and that affects the flavor of them. fresh tomatoes from the garden that have never been refrigerated are completely different.

Nope. Once a tomato starts to change color it's done growing. It can be left on the plant to turn red but you risk insect and bird damage, so as soon as they start to show even a hint of orange I'm starting to pick them to let them ripen indoors. This is a second generation seed from a hybrid variety. Normally you're not supposed to save those seeds to grow them because you can get unpredictable results since the hybridization is not stable and you can get all kinds of weird results. I have four plants that I grew from the seeds and all of them have slightly different shaped tomatoes.

Also, tomatoes generally grow in the shape they're going to be when they are full size. Round tomatoes start off as tiny little round green tomatoes and get bigger and roma tomatoes which are more oval shape start off as tiny little ovals and proportionately grow bigger. None that I have grown start off skinny and get fatter as they grow.

Lol.

Based on conversations with people in the vegetable gardening sub it's because I used seeds that someone saved from their garden and gave to me and the variety of tomato that they saved the seeds from is a hybrid and is not stable so future generations don't necessarily come out looking like the parent plant. I have a total of four plants and every one of them produces slightly different tomatoes despite the seeds coming from the same batch. I'm hoping at least some of these have seeds because I want to save them to see what they do in the next generation.

Tomatos were super tasty and my plant is covered in hundreds of them, mostly still green so this will be fun!

I see the same person that painted my house painted these walls. I've been finding all kinds of messed up layers of paint in corners and places that were behind movable furniture when they lived here. There's one area where walls and ceiling are bright blue except for all the corners which are visible that they never cut in with paint they just use the roller on the walls and ceiling and that was it.
