| I've decided that I'm particularly drawn to tomatoes with beautiful blossom end scars. From my limited experience (3 years growing), it seems like these are sort of varietal traits (correct me if I'm wrong please)? So far, White Tomesol and Rebel Yell are the only varieties I've grown that have them. I'm wondering if anybody can suggest varieties to me that tend to have these great "belly buttons". It's not really information that is commonly found in variety descriptions in the seed catalogs... :) Here's a photo of what I'm talking about (on the white tomato). |

| Or am I wrong and this is just catfacing that happened to be pretty? |
|
| You took the words out of my mouth. You may be the first person I have heard of looking for varieties prone to cat facing. :) does look pretty cool though! |
|
| Ha. :) I guess I'm good at looking on the bright side, huh? |
|
| Yeah...a great trait to have, especially in a gardener! |
|
| My Yellow 1884 Pinkhearts were really catfaced early in the season last year, but the later ones were normal. But the normal ones have a pink starburst on the blossom end that is pretty. |

| Just about any medium to large slicer catfaces for me in the Pacific Northwest. Cool weather during fruit set seems to make it more pronounced. Here is one last years' Paul Robeson’s with an innie. |

| That one's really pretty! I guess I need to grow more medium-large slicers. I've been growing a lot of saladette types... |
