Learning tomato varieties.

They were once little seedlings fighting for sunlight and spreading tiny roots in little pots. They are now at three different locations. A group of 4 plants is happy with the whole vegetable to themselves. The second group is squeezed close to the existing trellis of winged beans. Another two is in a large pot.



These are photos of two plants in a large pot. 
The fruits are no really round, a little bit oval, almost plum shaped. They have slight pointed end.

These come from plants grown on vegetable bed.

another type of tomato, the size is a lot bigger than the first, almost like pumpkins. The fruit doesn't form clusters. The majority is single, and that would naturally helps tomato to grow big.

Now I am beginning to pick up terms like heirloom,

hybrid, globe shaped, oval shaped, plum shaped.

The expert can identify the variety with full confidence.

I am not.
