... it is a first fruit from Summertime Green dwarf.
22.8 oz, and it looks like a gigantic caterpillar suffering from a stomach ache... It looked more appealing when I sliced it into an arugula salad ![]() Not the best tasting tomato I had, but still pretty good. 7/10 on my taste scale. Seed saved, I think I will have enough seeds to offer at Tatiana's TOMATObase seed catalog in 2012.

Oh, it's Sooooo Ugly! Are you sure it isn't a hornworm?

Well... I never tried a hornworm in my salad, so I cannot be 100% sure... I guess
![]() We do not have hornworms here in PNW to compare, and it was too green to be a gigantic slug ![]()

No hornworms also means no hummingbird moths, they're pretty enough that I will put up with a few hornworms.

miken, I used to think this - it is a common misconception - but actually the tomato hornworm produces a much less attractive moth!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tomato_hornworm So, squish them! The description of Hummingbird Moth larva are very different http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hummingbird_moth
