Could be Carolyn,mind you if you look back at some of the earlier photos i posted (4 weeks a go and yesterday)which are the same group,it starts off with a point then losses it,i feel generally looking over both plants i wouldn't say they are a heart type.

I'm glad you came to the same conclusion b'c I did look at the earlier pictures and was not convinced it was a heart.

Sustained high heat can elongate a fruit so that it does indeed appear as though it's a heart, but then change back as I've also seen. Being a heart lover at heart, ahem, i've been excited when a new variety turns out to initially have fruits that look heart shaped and then my enthusiasm got dampened when they got bigger and the fruit lost that pointy end.
