Just a poorly/incomplete pollination I suppose?

I have a RBG in my yard where I grow Tomatoes, Cucumbers, Carrots, etc. Everything is going great, especially since this is my first year going at it! I had some Cucumbers that look strange. Stumpy looking (shorter and fatter than the normal ones) but other than their appearance they tasted great. I found out that this was caused by incomplete pollination. This is why I am guessing that is the problem with this strange little Tomato. Not really wanting to eat this guy though...

Here it is compared to the "normal" ones I harvested that day,

Nope, appears to have gotten all it needed. It's just a small tomato. More growing conditions related than pollination. All plants have them now and then.

Strange, maybe the stem/branch it was on had been damaged and I didnt realize it. It's the only one like that I have seen this year. It also has a rough texture to it.... maybe I will eat it!
