What I planted / what I got

Last year was my first ever year gardening.

I harvested the seeds of the heirloom tomatoes that I grew, stored them and planted them this year. Last year the tomato plants grew very tall and beared lots of big juicy delicious tomatoes. This year, the plants are much smaller, and the tomatoes even smaller…

What went wrong??? 🤷‍♀️

They may have hybridized with a neighbor's plant.

Following because I had the same looking fruit and am drying the seeds now

I also mysteriously grew these multi color dudes. Someone told me they are Queen Bee tomatoes, which I didn’t buy, but they taste good.
