Hiya all,
You may start to notice that I am pretty much obsessed with the colour purple and lilac  .

Here are some of the purple veg we grew last year

Peeled purple potatoes, black beans but in my eyes purple lol, red onions but once again I am colour blind and see them as purple lol, and purple beetroot  .

Those potatoes made lilac mash and didn't taste bad either  :happy:.

[SMD66]

ooh sorry but the lilac mash looks grey to me, maybe I'm colour blind!  Still, all good antioxident stuff!

[purplejaguar]

Its the pic, it was lilac in real life, honest  lol.

Have you tried purple carrots?

They lose their colour when cooked but have nice orange core when cut fresh.

I've grown purple sprouts and this year the purple french beans are still doing well and of course purple sprouting broccolli!

[Beetroot queen]

Dont show my daughter that, mine you she is going off purple onto blue and that surely cant be easy to grow blue stuff 

What are you planning to grow now

How about a purple swede ?

Marshalls are selling purple raspberries!

I was tempted, but have resisted so far.

Cheers,

Gillie

Ooooooooo lots more PURPLE yay  . I forgot we had grown purple carrots & purple sprouting broccoli last year as well . I must see if I can find anything else purple, love the idea of purple rasberries  .

We have whole 'purple' bed at school, with carrots, french beans, red mustard (which looks purple it's so dark) and  several beetroots --- the children loved it!!

[purplejaguar]

Red mustard is another one to look out for then  .

[Parsnip]

Someone on here grew purple chillis aswell I'm sure...

[sunshineband]

Yes it was Jonny Tinslecat I think. He sent me a Purple Maui and it has a flowers and one small fruit (still green ATM)

I've just ordered a pretty in purple chilli pepper from the real seed company.

Looking forward to trying them next year.
