My Brandywine tomatoes would definitely be in the running for the "weirdest-looking" category at the Fair. Some of them are like 4 tomatoes stuck together... Anyhoo- the Homesteads are just perfect. No weird stripes or marks or spots - just perfect medium-sized red tomatoes. The Eva Purple Balls are just like them except more of a pinky-red instead of an orangy-red. I thought I'd have tomatoes coming out of my ears by now, but they seem to be a little slow... not enough to can yet.
