    "You seem to have removed a fair amount of leaves, Spookess?

    I thought spookess might be like trusses. :D

    One year I didn't bother sowing tomatoes because I already had a lot of "volunteers" via the compost heap. You can see the result on the "Fascinated by Fasciation" thread, on page 6.

    It looks like 2 fruit fused together... you'll be able to find out if you cut it in half when it ripens.  Interesting... but definitely edible!

    Is that three of them like that or have you just photographed one, three times? 
    They look like a beefsteak variety.

    It is just one tomato. It was ridged as soon as it started growing but none of the others are.

    I have googled pictures of this and it does look very similar 😊 Guess I will find out when I eventually cut into it 🤣
