@aetris @compunaut I actually have some video (somewhere) we shot from/of that rampart. When we got to the castle they even had a pair of coconut halves they loaned out, they got so many requests!
Do the purple romanesco! Purple fractal cauliflower!
I grew Cherokee purple tomatoes a few years back. They were pretty and delicious, but I was bad at watering them so many of them split very badly right around the time they got ripe. They weren’t that close to like a royal purple color, though, more like a maroon.
I’d like to try them again sometime, they were among the best tasting tomatoes I’ve had.
@djslack try black krim tomatoes they are thr most delicious ever and make the perfect BLT
Does anyone know if Barney even gardens?
@JnKL no idea i just think of @barney when i think of purple
@Barney loves purple.
@JnKL Once @CaptAmehrican gets the plot planed down I think it would be a breeze to plant…
I would love to have a purple garden, even purple potatoes, which I would NEVER eat. (There’s something about purple potatoes that bothers me.)
Yes, I do garden, @JnKL, but nowadays it’s mostly tomatoes. I’ll have to try some purple tomatoes. Sounds interesting.
Thanks for the list of purples, @CaptAmehrican. And thanks for thinking of me.
@Barney you must try purple potatoes one day. They are yummy.
purple loves @barney.
@RiotDemon
@Barney @RiotDemon potatoes are not worth growing. They taste just like store bought and take forever. Purple sweet petters however have huge purple payoff for small amount of effort. I just used up the last of my frozen back purple peppers a week or so ago.
@Barneybot isn’t a real bot.
I’ve gotten these beans from my CSA (the color contrast is beautiful imo): https://www.seedsnsuch.com/product/dragon-tongue/?attribute_pa_packet-size=packet&gclid=Cj0KCQiA4NTxBRDxARIsAHyp6gD6dCtaiEhKcOugXWsbfblifIbpDVZNqxCR0_c8UtavKm0GKeLpjpoaAvTyEALw_wcB
