Default Bluey Tomato

Here are a couple pics of my bluey tomatoes. This variety is still in the segregation stages and is putting out quite a variance of characteristics. These are the few i am focusing my attention on due to the speckling of the flesh. Anyone else growing bluey this year?

Bluey is one of hundreds of lines of blue tomatoes that I started. I am glad some folks are finding some unusual coloring (Speckles) in it. I am interested in seeing the ones in the photo when they ripen. Good work.

Great!

Can´t wait to see my two plants setting tomatoes on. Badly snail attack.

Yes,
I wanted to see the ripe ones too! Please post some pics.

I'm sorry now I didn't make room and sow seeds for Bluey this year, as I like the look of yours, I'm another one looking forward to seeing the ripe fruit

I had a few freckles on some of the Gateway (another of Tom's varieties) plants last year, not as definite as yours.

Here's a couple of pics of one of my Bluey plants so far this year. I see no speckling. I have another plant but it has not developed enough to determine what it will look like.

Thank you. Hopefuly mine will take up some speed.
I have taken a clear look at both plants today. On one I have seen flowers which will open the next days, but the other...puh, it´s tiny and badly hurt from snails.
