Something Different

I like surprises, especially when growing tomato plants and today I got one, with the last lot of seedlings I germinated. One of them has thrown an elongated leaf plant, somewhat different to a Potato Leaf or a Regular Leaf tomato foliage.

I tend to think it's going to be different, not sure how just yet though. Not only was the variety something worth growing, this plant makes it doubly different. Just recapping on the seed for these, they were offered on a Facebook Garden Group, so I got some, now this will make growing two plants even more interesting - one of each.

Below are two seedlings from the 4 germinated, the lower one is a definite Regular Leaf plant, what this variety should be, but the top one is 'different'.




I knew there'd have to be a simple explanation to the Lanceolate leaves. A change in leaf shape to Potato Leaf, so I'm not sure now if it will change the fruit size and shape, but we'll have to wait and see. I'll need to give it a working name now, so what will it be. lol
