Default Elwood Blues and Elwood Tomcat

I have posted this on Tom Wagner's forum but I will add it here as well.
I am trying through selection to come up with two or maybe three new tomato varieties. Last year I grew 11 plants from seeds from Tom Wagner of a variety he called "Seattle's Blue Wooly Mammoth". I literally ended up with 11 different results. I had one woolly, but I was most interested in two other variations that were determinate, small fruited with blue tops. This year I have grown again from seeds saved from the two that I liked. I now have one with no stripes (Elwood Blues) and one with stripes (Elwood Tomcat) although I have a version with yellow stripes and one with green. I will save seeds from each and keep chasing these traits. I am using these to make salsa this year as well.
