Ed is weird
This is Ed's Millennium looking extra weird. I'm not sure why some tomatoes have these mutations, but it sure makes picking them interesting. Never know what you are going to get.
There were several tiny bees hanging around the parsley flowers this morning. They were maybe 1/4 of an inch long. Again, I have no clue what species it is.

Freakish tomatoes
The sunflowers leaves are being chewed on, but I'm sure the seeds are developing nicely anyway.
This is a flower from a leek. The variety is Prizetaker. If you look at the bigger image you can see a little bee on the purple flowers.
I harvested many tomatoes today. I thought I would start you off with the normal looking ones and then get to the freaks. This is Brandywine O.T.V. (Off the Vine) with a potato leaf. It is the only red variety I planted this year.
Brandywine from Croatia. They are pink with a regular leaf. It is a rare variety, only available from Santa Clara Master Gardeners. I hope to save seeds from it, so I can grow from my own seeds.
Anna Russian. By far, the most productive of my tomatoes so far this year.
Now some of the freaks. This is Ed's Millennium. I picked one normal looking tomato and a crazy looking monster tomato. I have more pictures below.
It doesn't look so scary on the plant.
On the food scale it weighs 1 pound, 8.5 ounces. That's a big tomato!!!
Freak!
One of the Anna Russian's is looking a little bit like an alien too. I'm sure they will taste great.
