[Cranraspberry]

I LOVE this idea! If it’s okay I’m going to steal it and do the same in our community garden.

I can see a can of spam coming my way for saying this, but I have never had it.

Don't even think about sending it. It's not listed on my low sodium diet.

Only 580mg of sodium for 2oz's! Such a deal. I am restricted to 1500-1800mg per day. I guess that I would call that lower sodium but not low sodium. I can't even have a piece of bread with my spam.

Slapping it twist two (2) NO sodium Tomato slices (with a lettuce of yer choosing) is a possibility...

Would this half naked Sutton's Peach Blow count as ugly?

Sure it's ugly, but as far as being in the running? NOT_EVEN_CLOSE!

@MissS I feel ya, my mother is also on a sodium restricted diet because of kidney stones and has a great deal of trouble finding sodium free food. She makes her own bread at home because store bought bread has too much sodium. Everything does. Reduced sodium goods are still too high. Personally I stopped using table salt myself and use No Salt, a potassium that is a sodium substitute. You get used to after only a few uses.

My first entry for the Ugly Contest. Lopsided German Queen.

My second entry for the Ugly Contest: this severely damaged Sutton's Peach Blow. While it was young it was half eaten by a hornworm.

The russeted patch has the mouth feel of approximately 220 grit sandpaper. Don't ask.

In a way I guess my Westerlund could be called ugly on one side.

[Cornelius_Gotchberg]

Glass half full? The Gotch has a promising entry:

Glass half empty? It's the lovely and long suffering Mrs. Gotch's fave, Ananas Noire.

My Porckchop that I thought was going to bring me glory in the giant contest, sigh. Well hopefully it fares better in the ugly contest.

@Mark_Thompson That sure is an ugly one all right. It's not even blushing yet. I think that this is your second one that has gotten some kind of funk and started to rot. Given that, I might consider spraying them with isopropyl alcohol or a light vinegar spray as they start sizing up to keep whatever pathogen this is at bay.

Now THAT'S one BUTT UGLY Tomato!
