The Many Shapes of Heirloom Tomatoes

We have 14 different varieties of tomatoes growing this year, which is turning out to be a great year for tomatoes.
I never cease to be amazed by the vast differences in shape, color, size and taste among tomatoes. None of ours have ripened up yet, but here is a gallery of the interesting shapes of the fruit to come:

The greenhouse is working out really well for growing tomatoes. The Cherry Sweeties are taller than me already and just covered in fruit. Check out the greenhouse:

Also planted in the greenhouse are jalapenos, habaneros, eggplant, and muskmelon.
