               15 flowers aligned are forcing themselves into a torus. Aren't megablooms usually always growing in every direction?
  I have 8 Cherokee Purple. Every plant has a megabloom.
  Every blossom on every plant of every variety has set fruit. 100+ tomatoes so far. I flick every stem once a day.

               I have never seen fruit inside a megabloom all line up like this. Usually they are popping out in 5 different directions. Do you ever get any like this?

               Thanks. I was hoping for something unusual.

  I haven't looked at my 2017  diary for years.  Maybe I should start some tomato seeds this year.......

               Thats a nice tomato 3D, wish I had one like that.  Isn't that what we used to call a caterpillar?
  Wow, bnot... I gotta get me one of those.

               Ya Kins, it does look like a caterpillar that's about to bite its own tail. A different Cherokee Purple in a different pot is now putting out a very similar megabloom, with the flowers all lined up in a neat row. I'm curious to see what these will turn into.
