Nope, they are not deformed -- they look a lot like Opalkas or perhaps Polish Linguisa or something along those lines. If so, lucky you! They're very tasty tomatoes.

Yeah, they are a little weird when you first see them because they don't look like traditional tomatoes. Not what you expect to see.

Do you still have the ID tag for them or remember the name of the tomato? I think you will enjoy them once you get by their appearance.

Congratulations!

Normal looking Opalkas.

I agree. Opalkas. Here are some of mine on the vine before ripening:

If you have hot & dry weather, why would you only water ONCE/week? That's a probable cause for your BER. Can also be the cause of your lumpy fruits. You need to water more regularly and more consistently.

Are your plants in-ground or containers?

Also fish emulsion is a fairly weak fertilizer of wrong proportions, usually around 4-1-1 or 5-1-1 (with seaweed 2-4-1.) Tomatoes do better with a hi-P fertlizer or more balanced fertilizer.

Agree mostly with Mark.

If you're talking about the right hand Opalka that has a constricted area on it that's due to lack of water when that part of the fruit was forming.

You can see the same kind of constricted areas on cukes and other crops when they're in the middle of growing and water is lacking.

I see....that is what I was afraid of. It has been extremely dry here.

We were getting rain early in the season, but it has been very dry the last month or so. I have mulched them with a layer of newspaper and a few inches of leaves. We are praying for rain!
Thanks to all!
