Oh my great goodness Tom! Those tomatoes look beautiful. It's fuzzy! Let me go and research the taste. I have to grow this as well also. Ok, as for the answer about the sweetest tomato. Flaming Juane, and Beyond Verde Claro. Never tasted even a Flaming Juane. I will await, when they are offered. Thanks again Tom~

Thanks to folks like Jemlestomates with these great photos my tomato varieties are almost like becoming pluots.

Here is a Dragon Fruit type of plum/apricot


And here is the unripe version of the Seattle's Woolly Blue Mammoth..from Jemlestomates....


And when it is ripe...



Whereas the Pluot is smooth skinned...the SWBM tomato is fuzzy like a peach.

Mind you ....there will be many versions of the SWBM this year....may the best fruit win!

I extracted seed today from a tomato line that has SWBM within the breeding pedigree but with earlier higher set tomatoes. The clone I call Merlot Downs is slightly woolly, roma shaped yellow tomatoes with blue stripes on the bud end of the fruit and not on the shoulders...quite a switch.

There are so many types of blues popping up in my observation plots that I am running out of adjectives for them.

Hello,

the pictures are awesome. Perhaps I will try this tomato next season. I hope they will have new seeds on the newworldcrop site!

I am extracting seed as fast as I can from as many of the above varieties and more. And of course, I test for flavor on the spot...with about three out of four varieties turning up winners for flavor.

I have a Matt's Folly type that I am re-naming...ahem.... Matt's Jollies. It is a mini roma with interesting flavors...no stripes as I am reserving the name...Matt's Folly for a mini red and yellow striped clone.

I have asked many of my customers if I could use some of their photos of my tomato creations on the NWS&T website....so if Jemlestomates is among those who allows me that privilege....it should make for an interesting and colorful online catalog of sorts.

Thanks everybody.

I'm new here, but I have to say...my oh my those are the coolest looking tomatoes I have ever seen!! Very cool. Maybe next year I can get some and plant them too !

Best of luck, it's great that you're doing all of this!

[Tom Wagner]

I ended up my day with about forty different varieties with seed extracted. As I looked back at the discarded fruits minus seed...I thought I could see just about every color imaginable. The had just processed the seed of Primary Colors tomatoes and the pulp looked like a mix of every primary and secondary color plus the tertiary colors to boot.

The Winter grow-outs and seed increase will verify more predictably what I will be describing and linking to photos will eliminate too many write ups. I expect to run out of most of my varieties once I post them.

Tom Wagner

yes ,of course. You can use my photos on the NWS&T website.

I grew 13 plants of Seattle's Woolly Blue Mammoth, and although none of the fruit had the necessary flavor to be in the running for the 'big prize', watching them ripen was, alone, the most enjoyment I've ever experienced while growing a single packet of seeds.

These are the 10 varieties I've saved for future crosses. The genetic diversity exhibited here doesn't even include the 'wooliness' and 'blueness' of the plants themselves.

Thanks for the fun, Tom!

Here is a photo / still life composition of the tomatoes from one of my SBWM tomato plants. This plant is determinate, the fruits are small and thick walled with a good flavor. If the seeds saved from this plant produce the tomatoes in this picture I will be pleased. If the seeds produce the same fruit, I intend on naming the variety "Elwood Blues", as I live in Elwood, IN.

Thanks to Jemlestomates, IndyArtist, Heritage and other posting pictures from the Seattle's Blue Woolly Mammoth composite of tomato seed......everyone can get a measure of the fun of growing tomatoes from a segregating population. The name SBWM was given as place holder until I find a single plant justifying the name for its own. In the meanwhile names like Elwood Blues and others are perfectly suited to local segregations.

Growing tomatoes needs more diversity...not less. I welcome growers making their own selections and their own names.

Did you prune to one or two main stems, and cut back foliage, on Dancing With The Smurfs?
