If l remember my  school days right l sure all carrots were all purple till the Duch bread them orange so if you get any complaints just say thats how real carrots taste.

Trying Purple haze this year so we can compare notes

I grew purple haze last year very tasty and very pretty if grated and put into a salad or coleslaw 

I will grow some more just for the novelty factor.

Grew purple carrots last year and they were better size than the orange ones planted at the same time 

Tasted good too.

Have got mixed colours this year for school, including yellow and white

I've grown the purple carrots before and I didn't find the taste any different than orange ones. However, to buy them in the shops is a real eye-opener pricewise.

I grew  falstaff purple brussel sprouts a couple of years ago. The ones that were big enough to see were purple. Not bothered since.
