Well, I didn't put my parsnips into any kind of root trainers, they germinated well in modules, 2 seed leaves and roots 5" long - I know, I know - planted them anyway, so dear knots what shape the parsnips will be. Will post the pics come the time. I reckon they'll be fine for soup if nothing else.

Here's a photo to start things going. This is of a 'Black From Tula' tomato from last season in my garden, which is actually a result of 6 'fused' blossoms.

It grew like this until one tomato ripened and then it was removed from the plant.

It looks like something one would see in a medical manual.

Default More Odd Tomatoes

Here are a couple of "odd shaped" tomatoes from last season here. The first shows a half ripe 'Nicoleta' with its added feature.

The second is another 'fused' fruit, this time a pair of Kotlas joined as one.

I got this four-lobed strawberry ... tasted just as nice as normal ones (you can only see 3 lobes in the pic)

Well here's a pic of my oddly shaped spuds.

A bit Buster Gonadesque for all fellow Viz readers.
