It is not easy being an Heirloom Tomato. Some call you Ugly.
Why should we call this big ole’ meaty tomato ‘Ugly’? Just because there are some puckers and wrinkles?
Considering most of us have puckers and wrinkles, I find the description unacceptable. I suggest we call the Heirloom tomato the ‘prettiest tomato ever!’.
Yup, much better.
