TWINS ? Is this normal ?
These 2 Gardener's Delight toms grew together on one stalk. This is probably a regular occurence to you guys but it's the first time I've ever seen it.
I hope I've snet the right photo !

I've seen some odd shaped tomatoes, but never seen twins like that, as Pam says, you get some odd things in nature, Derek.

Lyco what ? Had to look it up but even Google struggles with that one. Just going to check it in the dictionary if I've the strength to blow the dust off.

I meant to type Lycopersicus Hank, what I assume (but probably wrongly), is the plural of Lycopersicum as in Solanum lycopersicum. So I suppose the correct way of describing it would probably be Lycopersicum gemini (Tomato twins) or geminus lycopersicum (double tomatos).

Aah, that explains it Myron, and the "gemini" bit helps, but regrettably lycopersicus will soon be forgotten. Thanks anyway.
