.... seen in the Bonnie Plants link. Goodness, but there are no end of different colours, shapes and sizes, and these are only the ones sold by Bonnie Plants so there must be hundreds and hundreds more. www.bonnieplants.com/tabid/420/c/215/Default.aspx |

True, but those really dark ones don't look very appetizing. I just read the text from the Black Prince one, imagine - it comes from Siberia!!!

Colour of food is so important to most people, not many people would eat carrots until they saw the strange imported ones that were an orange colour and then they became very popular. But most types of carrots are not orange.

Those Black Prince tomatoes are very like the ones we grow called Black Cherry. They are very tasty and pretty good croppers.
Ann say's you're right about the colour of foods Dag can you imagine eating green mince? In her last year at school ( she has a very good memory) they changed the school dinner menu and added curry which for some reason was a vague green colour and no one would eat it .
Has any one tried the coloured cauliflowers? I've seen seeds for orange, white and purple ones might try them next year. My coloured potatoes are coming on ok at the moment .

No, never tired coloured cauliflowers but did grow white radishes a few years ago and they were quite good. Looked a bit like miniature parsnips.

No, have not tried them, Alfie, but have seen them. However, they are so expensive that I can well go without.  - green mince, I wouldn't have eaten it either, sounds disgusting, like putrified meat. I think I'd get ill just seeing such on my plate. DAG, those are Radis. You see them often over here in the supermarkets, even more so down south in Bavaria. Sometimes called German Beer Radish. |
