Ms Mackin found the odd specimen this week growing among her six tomato plants.
“It seems to be two tomatoes joined together,” she said.
“It might even be three.”
“The rest of my tomatoes are normal.”
Ms Mackin’s tomato crop is her first attempt at growing the fruit with the help of a friend.
She already has corn, beans and pumpkins growing at her property.
“I’ve just been eating the tomatoes as the ripen,” she said.
“If I get a lot of them, I might make a salad.
“I think I’ll have the double tomato on a sandwich when it gets ripe.”
In November 2015, Horsham’s Ian Mackley was surprised to find a huge, nine-pointed lemon.
Ms Mackin isn’t the only one to find unusual fruit. Take a look through our gallery of other strange fruits and vegies from the Wimmera.
