- @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!

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.

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 @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.
