Catface

Hmm... I just discovered the most interesting word. I'm totally going to have to utilize it, either in a poem or in a conversation.

“ Catface” is a term for describing misshapen fruit with scars and holes on blossom end. Possible causes are cold weather with night temperatures 58 F or lower at flowering time, high nitrogen levels, and herbicide injury. The tomato varieties with very large fruits are more susceptible. (Urbanext)

The tomato in this picture is an example of a catfaced fruit. Isn't that awesome! :)
